 ## Getting started
 
 `git clone --recursive https://github.com/opensciencemap/vtm`
 
+Install Android SDK and build-tools 19.0.1. From extras add
+'Android Support Library/Repository' and 'Google Repository'.
+The commands below should set things up correctly when Android
+SDK is already installed.
+```
+export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/your/android-sdk
+export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
+echo yes | android update sdk --filter platform-tools --no-ui
+echo yes | android update sdk --filter android-19 --no-ui
+echo yes | android update sdk --filter extra-android-support --no-ui
+echo yes | android update sdk --filter extra-android-m2repository --no-ui
+```

 ### Eclipse
-```
-export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/android-sdk
-./gradlew eclipse
-```
+`./gradlew eclipse`<br/>
 Import all 'vtm' sub-projects into Eclipse.
