|
<p>The Android SDK separates tools, platforms, and other components into packages you can
|
|
download using the Android SDK Manager. The original
|
|
SDK package you've downloaded includes only the SDK Tools. To develop an Android app,
|
|
you also need to download at least one Android platform and the latest SDK Platform-tools.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Launch the SDK Manager.
|
|
<p>If you've used the Windows installer to install the SDK tools, you should already have the
|
|
Android SDK Manager open. Otherwise, you can launch the Android SDK Manager in one of the following
|
|
ways:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>On Windows, double-click the <code>SDK Manager.exe</code> file at the root of the Android
|
|
SDK directory.</li>
|
|
<li>On Mac or Linux, open a terminal and navigate to the <code>tools/</code> directory in the
|
|
Android SDK, then execute <code>android sdk</code>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>When the Android SDK Manager opens, it automatically selects a set of recommended packages,
|
|
as shown in figure 1.
|
|
Simply click <strong>Install</strong> to install the recommended packages. The Android SDK Manager
|
|
installs the selected packages into
|
|
your Android SDK environment.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you install the recommended packages, you're now ready to start developing apps!
|
|
To start developing, read <a href="{@docRoot}training/basics/firstapp/index.html"
|
|
>Building Your First App</a>.</p>
