After downloading the package, begin installation (and choose the desired installation folder to proceed or just leave the default %USERPROFILE%\android-sdk):.

Depending on your choice download the appropriate SDK package from above links (but for this example I will be using the manual method).I recommed using the offline SDK installer for installing the essential tools namely SDK and AVD manager: The last version of he installer is found here: SDK Installer_r24.4.1 (for windows), SDK Installer_r24.4.1 (for linux) or SDK Installer_r24.4.1 (for macos)


This tutorial is a just step by step for installing Android SDK (Software Development Kit) assuming the user is starting from scratch. If needed, also set ANDROID_HOME environment variable like: export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/android-sdk If you check the android-sdk folder after running tools/bin/sdkmanager -update it will be like: +- android-sdk The sdkmanager accepts the following flag: -sdk_root=: Use the specified SDK root instead of the SDKīut if we omit this flag, it assumes parent directory of tools directory as the sdk root, here in our case android-sdk directory. To get the SDK packages we could run: tools/bin/sdkmanager -update This extracts content to a single directory named tools, like: +- android-sdk Sdk-tools-linux-*.zip only includes the command-line tools.

Tools/bin/sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms android–27" "build-tools 27.0.3" You can also use the sdkmanager to list and to install any specific packages needed. When executing the above commands, make sure that you replace * with an appropriate version number which you could find in the download page.
