[edit] Installing The SDK

The Android SDK will run on Windows, Linux, and OS X (Intel only). PowerPC is not yet supported due to bugs in the emulator - if you are using a PPC Mac, please follow this thread at the Android developers group.

The official Android site has more information on system requirements and installation if you have further questions.

1. Make sure you have Eclipse installed on your machine. This is not absolutely necessary (Android uses Ant build scripts, so it can be set up in any other Java IDE as well), but it is the most convenient solution.
2. Download the SDK and decompress it.
3. Add the tools/ directory in the decompressed SDK to your path - OS-specific instructions.
4. Download and install the Eclipse plugin
   1. From Eclipse, go to Help > Software Updates > Find and Install
   2. Go to Search for new features to install and press Next.
   3. Go to New Remote Site and enter https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ into the URL box. Hit OK.
   4. Make sure the new site is selected, and press Finish.
   5. Press Install All.
   6. Restart Eclipse.
   7. Change Eclipse preferences to point to SDK directory
      1. Select Window > Preferences > Android (Mac: Eclipse > Preferences > Android).
      2. For SDK location, browse to SDK directory.
      3. Apply then OK.
5. Run the emulator from the SDK directory.
6. Play around with the OS, have fun! You're set up!

Once you're here, you're ready to start developing.
