<p>Before you download and build the Android source, ensure your system meets |
|
the following requirements. Then see <a href="initializing.html">Establishing a |
|
Build Environment</a> for installation instructions by operating system.</p> |
|
|
|
<h2 id=hardware-requirements>Hardware requirements</h2> |
|
|
|
<p>Your development workstation should meet or exceed these hardware requirements:</p> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
<li>A 64-bit environment is required for Gingerbread (2.3.x) and newer |
|
versions, including the master |
|
branch. You can compile older versions on 32-bit systems. |
|
</li> |
|
|
|
<li>At least 100GB of free disk space to checkout the code and an extra 150GB |
|
to build it. If you conduct multiple builds or employ ccache, you will need |
|
even more space.</p> |
|
</li> |
|
|
|
<li>If you are running Linux in a virtual machine, you need at |
|
least 16GB of RAM/swap. |
|
</li> |
|
|
|
</ul> |

|
|
<p>The <a |
|
href="https://android.googlesource.com/">Android Open Source Project |
|
(AOSP)</a> <code>master</code> branch is traditionally developed and tested |
|
on Ubuntu Long Term Support (LTS) releases, but other distributions may be |
|
used. See the list below for recommended versions.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>You workstation must have the software listed below. See <a |

|
<p>Android is typically built with a GNU/Linux or Mac OS operating system. It is |
