#Android Development Mac OS X 10

We can install it here, from oracle.com, and it's along the web address. But before we do that, we need to make sure that we have Java installed on our machine, as well. - To use the CLI to build Android based mobile applications, we're going to need to install the Android SDK.

Double click the installer. Let's go ahead and just open it. And now the file's downloaded, we'll go ahead and keep it. And after a few moments, we will now open the installer and install Java on our platform. We're on a MAC, so I will first accept the license agreement, select the MAC version and let the download start. So if we scroll down, we'll see it's available for a variety of platforms.

There are two options, one would be to install the full Android stuido, so this would be an option if you were actually doing a lot of native development, plug in development, or some further Android development. So, if we go to developer.android.com/sdk, we'll be able to download it. So, with Java successfully installed, we can now turn our attention to actually installing the Android SDK. We'll return back over to Chrome and onto the next part. And quickly clear out our downloads folder. Great, now we have Java installed, now we can turn to the next part of the process.

So here, they're available for Windows, MAC OSX and Linux. We can actually scroll to the bottom of the page and actually just get the command line tools. We actually don't need that option.

On Windows, you actually get a nice little installer, but MAC people, we just get a zip file. Let me hide our Chrome here. So, that is over in our downloads folder, so let's go ahead and take a look at that. Click, and the SDK will download in just a moment.

Now, for the CLI tools to work, we're going to need to tell our command line where these tools live. And I will just put that SDK right in there. So that is actually just located right here at the top level under my user's directory. Now, I have a development folder I like to keep my SDK's in.

Now, I've already set up the configuration here so you don't have to watch me type it in. And this is gonna open my profile. Great, now, I'm just gonna go ahead and cd up to the top level and I've already created a bash file, but if you haven't, go ahead and type in touch.bash_profile, I'll just say open. Go ahead and make this nice and big so you can see it. So, lemme pull up the terminal.

And with that, we can just save this file. We need to know the location of both these elements for everything to work. Next, we export back into the bash profile path variable the location of both the platform tools and the tools directory within the Android SDK. If you change that zip file name, you wanna make sure you change the directory path here. That's what the unloaded zip file. I've set the Android home to my user's directory, Chris Griffith Development and the file name android-sdk-macoxx.

Let's go ahead and just type Android. We can actually from the command line just type in Android, or if you're using Android Studio, it will walk you through the process, as well. We can do that a couple ways.

So here we have various tools, I'm actually going to select a large collection here. Bash file to have a force reload. You may need to close your terminal window and reopen it to reload your bash file or issue a source command on the. If this does not launch correctly, that means your bash profile is not loaded correctly.

That took a while, so hopefully maybe you went out, and had a nice little walk or something, got some fresh air, I know I did. And with that, all of our Android SDK's and other supporting tools have now been downloaded. Now, this is gonna take a while, so we'll cut away through the magic of video and come back in just a moment. And then once we're done, we'll go ahead and click Install, accept the licenses, and the Android SDK manager will now begin downloading all these packages for us. And then for each of the API's we want to support, go ahead and just click.
