Where to install Android SDK on Mac OS X?

Question

在 Mac OS X 上 Android SDK 应该安装在哪里？

Answer 1

The easiest (and standard) way to install Android SDK under OS X is to use brew .

brew install android-sdk

If you do not have homebrew, here's how to get it .

This will install Android SDK into /usr/local/Cellar/android-sdk/ and, at this moment, this is the best location to install it.

Answer 2

In homebrew the android-sdk has migrated from homebrew/core to homebrew/cask .

brew tap homebrew/cask

and install android-sdk using

brew cask install android-sdk

You will have to add the ANDROID_HOME to profile (.zshrc or .bashrc)

export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/share/android-sdk

If you prefer otherwise, copy the package to

~/opt/local/android-sdk-mac

Answer 3

When I installed Android Studio 1.0 it ended up in

/Library/Android/sdk/

Answer 4

我个人的偏好是将它放在~/opt/local/android-sdk-mac或 / Developer/android-sdk-mac ，后者是 Xcode 和所有 Apple Dev 工具所在的位置。

Answer 5

默认情况下，android sdk 安装程序路径是~/Library/Android/sdk/

Answer 6

You can install android-sdk in different ways

1. homebrew
   Install brew using command from brew.sh

    /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

   Install android-sdk using

   brew install android-sdk

   Now android-sdk will be installed in /usr/local/opt/android-sdk

    export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/opt/android-sdk

2. If you installed android studio following the website ,
   android-sdk will be installed in ~/Library/Android/sdk

    export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk

I think these defaults make sense and its better to stick to it

Answer 7

From http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html , it seems that you can install the SDK anywhere, so long as you

1. "execute the android tool in the <sdk>/tools/ folder"
2. Add the <sdk>/tools directory to your system path

Answer 8

I just have mine in MyUser/Documents/Development . I'm the only one that used my Mac, so I didn't need to worry about making it accessible system-wide.

Answer 9

我把我的放在 /Developer/SDKs 中，我必须进行身份验证才能做到这一点……但由于没有达成共识，我认为这听起来像是我记得的地方。

Answer 10

I ended up placing my at ~/sdks/android-sdk-mac_x86. I like to keep all of my SDKs in one place and for me an sdk folder under my home directory makes the most sense.

Answer 11

I have been toying with this as well. I initially had it in my documents folder, but decided that didn't make 'philosophical' sense. I decided to create an Android directory in my home folder and place Eclipse and the Android SKK in there.

Answer 12

brew install android-sdk --cask 

Answer 13

A simple way is changing to required sdk in some android project the number of

compileSdkVersion

in build.gradle file and you can install with the manager
