When downloaded unzip that badboy anywhere you want and make sure you point ANDROID_SDK_ROOT to it.A high level overview for what I need to do to get most of an Android environment setup and maintained on OSX higher Catalina and Big Sur with and without Android Studio been installed.Ĭonsidering the SDK is installed under /Users//Library/Android/sdk folder which is the Android Studio preferred SDK location, but it works fine under /usr/local/share/android-sdk as well, which is a location pretty much used on CI mostly.

This is very important for the next portion.įirst, you will need to visit the Android Studio download site and scroll until you see Command line tools only near the bottom and download the zip. Once in the list, go to the root of the app and ensure that your local is pointed to Java 8 (jenv local 1.8).

Unlike other version management toolings, like pyenv, nvm, or nodenv, you cannot install a JVM directly from jenv. If there is a need to have multiple versions of the JVM I highly suggest you install via sdkman and install jenv. For our purpsoe, all you will need to do (after installing sdman is to run sdk install java 8.0.272.hs-adpt and then run sdk home java 8.0.272.hs-adpt to get the JAVA_HOME env var ( export JAVA_HOME='$(sdk home java 8.0.272.hs-adpt)'). This is a general JVM tooling that can allow for multiple JVMs to be installed. Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen modeĪnother route (outside of brew) is with sdkman.
