Как установить Android SDK на Windows, Mac и Linux

22 октября 2008 года в Android появился магазин приложений Play Market. С тех пор прошло больше 10 лет и сегодня Google Play насчитывает почти 3 миллиона приложений в их числе Telegram с каналом AndroidInsider. Как же разработчикам со всего мира удается создавать качественные продукты? Они используют Android SDK. Чтобы получить все инструменты и средства разработки приложений, необходимо скачать среду разработки Android Studio. Но что, если вы хотите воспользоваться Android SDK с командной строкой без Android Studio и ненужных средств? В этом материале мы подскажем, как правильно установить и настроить Software Development Kit.

Ручная установка

Переходим по этой ссылке, находим раздел «Command line tools only» и скачиваем нужную версию в зависимости от вашей системы.

Создайте папку Android в корневой папке системы. В случае с Windows это локальный диск «С», а в OS X и Linux — домашняя папка пользователя. Распакуйте скачанный архив в папку Android. Для дальнейшей работы необходим установленный пакет Java на компьютере. OS X из коробки его поддерживает, чтобы проверить это, в терминале вбейте «which java», система должна выдать расположение пакета. На Windows и Linux устанавливаем JDK по этой ссылке.

Если вы используете Linux, вам понадобится установить еще несколько пакетов с помощью этой команды «sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6». Для других версий Linux необходимо найти подходящие пакеты ncurses5 и stdc++6.

Установка компонентов

Переходим в папку «Android/bin», находим исполняемый файл sdkmanager и запускаем, откроется следующее окно:

Выбираем «Android SDK Tools» и «Android SDK Platform-Tools», на Windows необходимо выбрать еще и «Google USB Driver». После этого подтвердите условия лицензионного соглашения, и начнется установка инструментов. В Windows они расположатся в папке «Windows\users\Имя пользователя\AppData\Local\Android», а на Linux и Mac в папке «.Android».

Ссылки

Теперь давайте создадим символическую ссылку на эти папки, чтобы можно было быстро запустить инструменты через командную строку.

В Windows переходим в «Этот компьютер → Свойства → Дополнительные параметры системы → Дополнительно → Переменные среды». В «Переменные среды для пользователя» находим строку «Path» и кликаем по ней 2 раза. Откроется окно, в нём нажимаем «Создать» и вставляем полный путь к инструментам через точку с запятой. Должно выглядеть примерно так «C:\Android\tools;C:\Android\platform-tools».

На Mac в домашней папке находим скрытый файл «.bash_profile» или просто «.profile». Открываем его командой «nano

/.profile» и добавляем путь до инструментов:

export PATH=»$HOME/Android/tools:$PATH»
export PATH=»$HOME/Android/platform-tools:$PATH»

Сохраняем файл комбинацией «CMD+X» и далее жмём «Y». На Linux процесс аналогичен, но нужно запускать файл .bashrc.

Вот и всё. Теперь команды Android SDK доступны через консоль. Вы сможете, например, устанавливать образы и вручную обновлять смартфон.

Ubuntu Documentation

This is a general overview of what the Android SDK is, what it does, and how it can benefit you. This guide also contains instructions on how to set up the Android SDK on Ubuntu 10.04 onwards.

The Android Software Development Kit (AKA SDK) is a software suite for the Android mobile operating system that allows you to write applications for Android in the Java programming language. Most people who use the Android SDK either develop applications for the Android operating system OR they use it for other purposes, such as obtaining elevated privileges on an Android device with the help of third-party software or use it for diagnostic purposes in case of malfunctioning.

The vast majority of Android users probably won’t have to make use of the Android SDK, however, it is useful if you wish to learn more about the Android operating system and even then it’s still a handy tool to have in case something goes wrong.

This tutorial covers Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx onwards. For anything prior to Lucid, you will have to find it yourself.

Preparation and Installation

Before we set up the SDK, we have some preparation to do. Due to some major changes in the Android SDK made in the last couple of months, setting up the Android SDK is not as easy as it was two years ago, when Android was starting to take off. Setting up the SDK itself is relatively easy once the preparation has been done.

Downloading the SDK Starter Package

First things first, we have to obtain the starter package. The SDK starter package can be obtained at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.

Download the one for Linux (.tgz file) and once it’s finished downloading, extract it to somewhere safe and easy to reach. For example, the home folder. To do so, open up a terminal, navigate to the directory where the SDK was downloaded and enter the following command:

$ tar -xvzf android-sdk_rXX-linux.tgz && mv android-sdk-linux

As of 12 May 2012, the Android SDK is currently up to r18, however that is set to change in the near future, and as such, replace XX with the version of your SDK.

Setting up Java

Prior to SDK r08, everything you’ll need to develop applications was included on a 100-200MB .tgz archive. However, with the release of SDK r08, the tools necessary for creating and building applications was removed and can be obtained by using the Android SDK and AVD Manager which is located in the / /tools folder.

However, you should not execute the Android SDK and AVD manager just yet, as you’ll most likely get a Parse: XML error notice. The reason for this is that after SDK r08, it’s now required to have Java installed before you set up the SDK. To do this, we’ll download the OpenJDK and the Icedtea browser plugin. In a terminal window, enter the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jdk icedtea6-plugin

This will download and install the OpenJDK implementation of Java, which will be sufficient enough for us to download the SDK platform tools.

Downloading the SDK platform tools

This is pretty much the actual «installation» of the SDK’s platform tools. One key reason why this step is important is that it contains an important protocol called the Android Debug Bridge (ADB).

ADB comes bundled with the SDK platform tools. It is a command-line tool used to communicate with and control the device over a USB link from a computer. The tool comes bundled with the Android SDK and is commonly used for diagnosing problems with the device. Once you have ADB installed, you can use ADB to copy files to and from the device’s internal memory, install apps, run commands, see logs and more. This makes it an invaluable tool if your device is running into some trouble that might warrant a new device.

Now, in order to obtain the SDK platform tools, we’ll need to initialize the Android SDK and AVD Manager that I mentioned earlier. To do so, enter the following commands in a terminal. The first command will direct you to where the Android SDK and AVD Manager is located, and the second will execute said program.

/android-sdk-linux/tools

Once you do that, a new window will pop up, which is the actual Android SDK and AVD Manager. Click on «Available Packages» and you will be presented with two boxes. One is the Android Repository and the other is the Third-party Add-ons. Click on «Android Repository» then click on Install Selected. A confirmation window will pop up. Click on «Accept All» and then click on the Install button to install the SDK platform tools. It’s quite a bit to download so make sure you have at least 512MB to 2GB of hard drive space available. Once the download has finished, you’ll get a notice saying that the ADB daemon needs to be restarted. Click on «Yes» and everything will finish downloading.

Post-Installation Configuration

Now once the download has finished, or while you’re waiting for the download to finish, we have to configure Ubuntu a little to meet our needs. First, we have to set up the PATH variable to include ADB and other SDK tools, and we have to make sure our hardware will be detected once we initialize ADB.

Modifying the PATH Environment Variable

In the days before Android 2.2, a good number of people used to place their various projects and applications in the directories where the necessary tools they used existed. This was in itself a very flawed method because it cluttered up the directories, and while cleaning up the SDK, one might accidentally delete a crucial file, which will cause the SDK to fail and having to completely reinstall everything.

Modifying the PATH Environment Variable will help out immensely when it comes down to making use of SDK tools like ADB. Doing this will also allow you to execute certain protocols like ADB from ANY location. So if you’re operating from the Desktop, you don’t have to redirect to the SDK’s platform-tools folder to make use of ADB if you need to make use of it.

Enough chatter, let’s get busy. To modify the PATH variable of your system, you need to edit your .bashrc file. To do so, in a terminal, execute the following command:

You will now have the Nano text editor enabled on the terminal. Now, at the very top of the file, enter the following:

/android-sdk-linux/tools

/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools

Once you’re finished, press CTRL + X, Y, and then hit Enter to save your changes and exit the Nano text editor.

Preparing Hardware

Now that we have our PATH variable set up, we need to make sure our hardware will be detected once we initialize ADB. However, up until Natty, udev in Ubuntu wouldn’t allow ADB access to the Android phone via USB. This was fixed in udev version 165-0ubuntu1 — if you are running an earlier version ( apt-cache policy udev will tell you whether you are), you’ll need need to create a new udev rule file as root.

In a terminal, execute the following command that will create the rule file. This will utilize the graphical sudo command, so that we can still have control over the file if we’re not a root user.

$ gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Copy and paste the following udev rules in the text editor that opened up which contains the new rule file we created. The rules included should work with most if not all Android devices across multiple manufacturers, such as HTC, Motorola, LGE, and so forth.

SUBSYSTEM==»usb», ATTRS==»0bb4″, MODE=»0666″

SUBSYSTEM==»usb», ATTRS==»0502″, MODE=»0666″

SUBSYSTEM==»usb», ATTRS==»12d1″, MODE=»0666″

SUBSYSTEM==»usb», ATTRS==»1004″, MODE=»0666″

SUBSYSTEM==»usb», ATTRS==»22b8″, MODE=»0666″

SUBSYSTEM==»usb», ATTRS==»04e8″, MODE=»0666″

SUBSYSTEM==»usb», ATTRS==»0fce», MODE=»0666″

SUBSYSTEM==»usb», ATTRS==»0489″, MODE=»0666″

SUBSYSTEM==»usb», ATTRS==»18d1″, SYMLINK+=»android_adb», MODE=»0666″

SUBSYSTEM==»usb», ATTRS==»04e8″, MODE=»0666″, GROUP=»plugdev»

Once you’ve copied and pasted the udev rules in the text editor which contains your newly created rule file, save your changes and quit. Now that you’ve set your udev rules you have to reboot so that ADB will be in your path.

To test your changes, open up a terminal and execute the following:

$ adb devices

Note: You may need to enable USB debugging mode on your phone first in order for it to be recognised.

This will give you two messages:

1) It will tell you it’s initializing the ADB daemon. 2) It should show you a list of connected devices.

If all went well you should see your device’s serial number under the list of connected devices. If you see a message like:

List of connected devices

. No permissions

This means your hardware was detected, however you made a mistake in configuring Ubuntu or the udev rule for your phone’s manufacturer was not listed.

How to install the Android SDK on Windows, Mac and Linux

Source: Android Central

Most of us will never need to install the Android SDK. The reason why is right in the name — Software Development Kit. It’s built for people writing Android apps who need tools to work with Android from a computer.

But those tools can also be handy for folks wanting to do some more advanced stuff. Stuff like manually updating software or rooting their phone. Fastboot and ADB are vital if you’re into «hacking» at the Android software. And Google provides it free for everyone.

What to choose?

There are two ways to get a working set of Android tools on your computer. The easy way is just to install Android Studio. Everything needed to run and use the Android command line tools is part of Android Studio, as well as a way to keep the tools updated. While it’s designed for folks who want a complete development environment and includes a code editor, Android emulator, and compiler, you can use just the command line tools and never open the rest.

If you’re not afraid to get your feet wet, you can install just the SDK components outside of Android Studio. Installing them is easy (they’re inside a zip file), but setting up your computer to use them isn’t a straightforward process.

Manually installing the Android SDK

Source: Android Central

Download the SDK direct from Google by clicking here. Scroll down a bit and find the section marked «Get just the command line tools» and save it somewhere easy to get to, like your desktop. We’ll be extracting it to a better location in the next step.

The file you downloaded is compressed. You’ll need to be familiar with compressed files — and how to extract them — to go any further. If you’re not, stop here and spend the time to learn about them.

Extract your compressed file into the following location:

• Windows: The root of your C: drive
• OS X: Your home folder
• Linux: Your home folder

Rename the extracted folder to «Android». This will make the rest of this guide, and your time with the SDK, much easier.

Prerequisites

Source: Android Central

You’ll need a working version of Java to run the SDK components. For most things, you’ll be doing with the SDK, both Open Java and Sun Java from Oracle (yes, that Oracle) will work.

• On a Mac, it’s pretty easy because you’ll already have it installed unless you uninstalled it. If you did, install it again — you should know how to do that if you knew how to uninstall it.
• On Windows, head to the Oracle website and download the correct version (32- or 64-bit) for your computer. Again, if this gives you any trouble, stop what you’re doing and learn a bit more about your computer. If you can’t install Java, maybe you’re not yet ready to use the Android SDK.
• On a Linux computer, you’ll also need to install Java. You can find x86 and x64 binaries for Sun Java from Oracle at their website. OpenJDK also works for most things you’ll need to do with the SDK. (OpenJDK is now bundled with Android Studio which includes the SDK as well as a development environment) and you’ll find complete instructions to get it installed at the OpenJDK website. If you need more assistance or want to use a package manager to install Sun Java, you’ll need to refer to the documentation for your particular distro.

Linux users will also have to make sure they have some 32-bit libraries installed if they are running a 64-bit version of the operating system. If you’re using Ubuntu or another Debian variant, install ncurses5 and stdc++6 through your terminal:

sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6

If you’re using a different flavor of Linux, find the correct packages for ncurses5 and stdc++6 and install them.

Installing the tools

Extract the file you downloaded above into a folder named Android on the root of your C drive (Windows) or into your Home folder (Mac, Linux). You might notice a few things are missing if you’ve ever downloaded the command line tools before as the tools and platform-tools folders are missing. That’s OK; we’re about to get them using the included SDK manager.

Open the bin folder in the extracted download and find the SDK manager executable file. It may look like a terminal or shell command, but it will open a GUI as long as you have Java installed correctly.

Source: Android Central

In the SDK manager, you’ll choose to install Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platform-Tools. If you’re using Windows, you’ll also want to install the Google USB Driver, and if you plan on building AOSP from the source, you may want to install the Android SDK Build-Tools.

Choose the correct files and proceed through the process (it will show you a license agreement you should read), and both tools folders will be installed. But you’re not quite finished!

The tools will be installed into the application data folder. On Windows, it’s in Windows\users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Android, and on a Mac or Linux, it’s in .Android (notice the dot!) in your home folder. Create a symbolic link (information for Windows users here) for both tools folders in the Android folder you created earlier. This will help get them into your PATH and make life a lot easier.

Setting your PATH

Source: Android Central

The PATH variable in your computer’s operating system tells it where to look when you want to run a command from a terminal or the command line. For example, to run the ADB command, you either need to type and provide the complete path — ie, the folder ADB is actually in, inside the SDK folder — or have the location set in the PATH variable itself. It’s a bit confusing, but the good news is that doing it is easier than explaining it.

For these directions to work as written, you will have to have extracted and renamed the SDK download folder as mentioned above, and to the correct location for this tutorial.

On Windows

Unless you’re still using an older version of Windows, you no longer can set the PATH in the autoexec.bat file or autoexec.nt file. You’ll need to update the system Environment Variable settings instead. Here’s how it’s done on a Windows 10 machine:

• Hit the Start key on your Keyboard.
• Start typing the words Environment Variables.
• As you type, you’ll see the choice to Edit the system environment variables. Choose it.
• In the Environment Variables window, select the PATH line item in the User variables for (your user name) section, then click the Edit button.

Add the full path to the Android SDK tools and Android SDK platform-tools folders in the edit box, separated by a semi-colon. It should look something like this:

For older versions of Windows, refer to the documentation that came with your computer for assistance on setting the PATH. And, again: If you’ve installed your SDK somewhere other than \Android, you’ll need to adjust accordingly.

On a Mac

Source: Android Central

You can set your PATH variable on a machine running OS X in your bash profile. Doing so is easy, and is all done in one file.

In your Home folder is a file named .bash_profile. Open it with any text editor. Never touch the .bashrc or .bash_profile files you might find in the /etc. directory!

You may see a blank file, or it may be full of other information. All we need to do is add a couple of lines to the top of the file:

(Did we mention that if your SDK is in another location, you’ll need to adjust things accordingly? Good.)

Save the file and reboot your computer so that the new PATH is sourced properly.

On Linux

Setting the PATH on a Linux computer is almost the same as on a Mac, you just edit a different file.

Using your favorite text editor, open the

/.bashrc file. It will probably exist and have multiple entries. If you get an error that the file does not exist, simply create a new file and save it as

/.bashrc when finished.

You’ll want to add the following two lines to the END of the .bashrc file:

Save the file and close the terminal window. Open a new instance of the terminal and type this command:

Your session will reference the changes you made, and the SDK will be in your PATH.

Wrapping it up

Source: Android Central

You should now have a working set of Android command-line tools and be able to do things like flash the latest factory images or manually update your phone with a zip file. And because you did it yourself, you have what you need to fix it when things go wrong.

Good luck, and have fun!
