Getting Started

Let's get started. Follow these steps:

1. Download and install the latest Java SE Development Kit from here.
2. Verify that Java's path has been added to the system PATH environment variable
   
3. Download and install Intel HAXM from here (Only required for Windows and MacOS)
   Note that you need to turn off Hyper-V and enable virtualization in BIOS (Windows only).
4. Download the Android Command Line Tools from here.
   
5. Extract the zip and structure the folders in the following way:
   

   cmdline-tools/
   └── tools/
       ├── bin
       ├── lib
       ├── NOTICE.txt
       └── source.properties

6. Now, create a new folder anywhere (C:\Android in my case) and put the cmdline-tools folder in it. Your folder structure should look similar to this:
   

   Android/
   └── cmdline-tools/
       └── tools/
           ├── bin
           ├── lib
           ├── NOTICE.txt
           └── source.properties

    

7. Create a new system variable ANDROID_SDK_ROOT with the value of your newly created folder (C:\Android for me)
   
8. Add the path to your cmdline-tools/tools/bin folder in the system PATH environment variable
