How to Install Android Developer Tools (ADT) on Linux (Ubuntu 12.10)

Whatsup Everyone, This your Boy MarvikTintor with another Linux Trick on how to RUN android-developer-tools in linux(ADT)

1. First download ADT for the Linux Platform and unzip it.
You can download it from :

<a href="http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.0.5-linux.tgz" Android SDK Tools"></a>

Android Developer Tools website



2. Copy it in your desktop

3. Open your Terminal Emulator
    To open your terminal emulator click : CTRL + ALT + T

My Terminal has this: root@marviktintorchatter-HP-650-Notebook-PC:/home/marviktintor-chatter/Desktop#

4. Now type : ls to view the folders and files in your desktop, Notice my adt-bundle-linux

root@marviktintorchatter-HP-650-Notebook-PC:/home/marviktintor-chatter/Desktop# ls
adt-on-linux.txt    new~           sdk    adt-bundle-linux
desktop           java.txt~                    safaricom   


5. Now lets start typing:
marviktintor-chatter@marviktintorchatter-HP-650-Notebook-PC:~$ cd Desktop/

type : "sudo su" to change to root mode call it Super User mode

You should see this:
marviktintor-chatter@marviktintorchatter-HP-650-Notebook-PC:~/Desktop$ sudo su
[sudo] password for marviktintor-chatter:

6. Enter your password and click enter

Notice the prefix "root" below, that shows you are in the Super User mode

root@marviktintorchatter-HP-650-Notebook-PC:/home/marviktintor-chatter/Desktop#

7. Now lets move the "adt-bundle-linux" folder to the folder where other program files, or executable files or application are by default located.

Type : mv adt-bundle-linux/ "/usr/lib/"

Example :
root@marviktintorchatter-HP-650-Notebook-PC:/home/marviktintor-chatter/Desktop# mv adt-bundle-linux/ "/usr/lib/"

8. Wait for sometime till the moving process terminates.
We will now naviagte to the location of our "adt-bundle-linux"

9. Now type: "cd / "
Example:
root@marviktintorchatter-HP-650-Notebook-PC:/home/marviktintor-chatter/Desktop# cd /
This navigates you to the root of your filesystem and not the "root" folder in the root of your file system, haha, confused, hope not, you are a linux user partna and am your sidekick geek!

Now Navigate to the folder where "eclipse" is in the "adt-bundle-linux" folder in the "usr/bin" folder of your Ubuntu-Linux diastro

cd /usr/bin/adt-bundle-linux-eclipse
OR

cd /usr/bin/
cd adt-bundle-linux/
cd eclipse/

Now Lets Change the file type of "eclipse.exe" so that we can be able to run it:

type chmod 777 eclipse

If you are told something like "Permission Denied", change to root mode by typing
sudo su
Then Enter your password:
NOTE:The password will not be shown and nothing will happen on your terminal, so do not freak out, everything is ALRIGHT!
and the "$" changes to "#"

(And I dont think you will be told something like "Permission Denied" because; how comes linux will have given you super user permissions to copy files in the "/usr/lib/" directory if you were out of root mode)

Example:
(a) Before typing: marviktintor-chatter@marviktintorchatter-HP-650-Notebook-PC:~$

(b) Type "sudo su" : marviktintor-chatter@marviktintorchatter-HP-650-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo su

(c) Click Enter
marviktintor-chatter@marviktintorchatter-HP-650-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for marviktintor-chatter:

The cursor keeps on blinking, Enter your password now

(d) After Entering your password : root@marviktintorchatter-HP-650-Notebook-PC:/home/marviktintor-chatter#

Notice the change in the "suffix" $ to #

Now try again to type ./eclipse

Wait for around 2000 milliSeconds and ADT (Android Developer Tools) Pops out

Voila!

We aint through my partna, Now type : apt-get install ia32-libs to Install 32-bit Libraries iff you are operating on a 64-bit Machine

And Then after reading of packages lists and building dependency trees is done, you shall be confronted with a question and some remarks;

/*
*0 upgraded, 243 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
*Need to get 75.9 MB of archives.
*After this operation, 237 MB of additional disk space will be used.
*Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

 /*

Enter "Y" and click Enter


You may need to create a desktop quick launcher shortcut for your ADT , Open your "eclipse" folder using your default explorer application:
"/usr/lib/eclipse/" inside this folder, you should notice a file called eclipse, select the file and then right click on it, Now choose the "Make Link" Option and this automatically creates a link to the eclipse file. You can move the "eclipse link" file to your desktop or wherever place you wish, this link will help you to quickly launch ADT (Android Developer Tools)
