Answer 1

I myself use phonegap on linux, for this I installed the SDK for Android using Eclipse (Eclipse JUNO for Linux), and for convenience I use the applauding plugin for eclipse.

Installation steps:

• Download eclipse from the Software Center or from the eclipse website.

• For the Android SDK, use the instructions provided on the Android developers site ( http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html )

• Applaud the plugin (optional): http://www.mobiledevelopersolutions.com/home/start This site contains a step-by-step procedure for installing the Android SDK and applauds the plugin.

VARIABLE ENHANCED ENVIRONMENT

On Linux, the PATH environment variable can be defined in the ~ / .bashrc ~ / .bash_profile file. If you have one of these files, use a text editor such as gedit, vi, or Emacs to open the file and look for a string that exports the PATH variable. If you find such a line, edit it to add the full path to the tool directory to the path. If there is no such line, you can add a line like this:

export PATH = $ {PATH}: your_sdk_dir / tools where you put the full path instead

your_sdk_dir.
