Installing the Android NDK

These instructions refer to a Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS system running on an Intel processor.

• Head to the http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html web site and download the latest version of the Android NDK for Linux (release r8b for example):
  

  $ wget http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r8b-linux-x86.tar.bz2

  
  
• Unzip and untar the downloaded file in your preferred directory:

  $ bunzip2 android-ndk-r8b-linux-x86.tar.bz2
  $ tar zxvf android-sdk_r20.0.3-linux.tgz

You should now have a directory called  android-ndk-r8b containing release 8b of the Android NDK.
