Installing Android Development Tools on Fedora x86_64

For Android developent on Fedora you'll need the following:

  1. Eclipse
  2. Android Eclipse Plugin
  3. Android Software Development Kit

Installing Eclipse onto Fedora 14 - X86_64

  1. Start with a clean install of Fedora 14, preferably from a live CD. For my examples I used the 64 bit edition.
  2. When the install is complete, open a terminal window and run yum update to bring your system up to date. You may have to reboot once this is done.
  3. Install Eclipse (Helios 3.6.1) with the command yum groupinstall "Fedora Eclipse".
  4. That's it! You can now use Eclipse to build C, C++ or Java programs.

Installing the Android Eclipse Plugin

  1. From the Eclipse Help menu select Install New Software
  2. Click on Available Software Sites and check the box next to download.eclipse.org/releases/helios then click Ok
  3. Back in the Available Software window click on the Add button and add the Android repository https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

  5. Once you review what will be downloaded, you'll need to check the box next to Accept the License then click Finish. Downloading of the plugin should start.
  6. When the download completes you'll need to restart Eclipse.

Installing the Android SDK

  1. Download the SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
  2. I downloaded the file android-sdk_r10-linux_x86.tgz
  3. Unarchive the file using "tar xvzf android-sdk_r10-linux_x86.tgz"
  4. You now have a directory named android-sdk-linux_x86/
