Alternatively, if you want to build the app directly from the command line (or using a different IDE, etc.), you will first need to install the command line tools from: https://developer.android.com/studio#cmdline-tools. Then you will need to install the SDK using the sdkmanager tool. After cloning the repository with git clone you will need to edit the local.properties file so that it points to the location of the SDK. Depending on which operating systems you use, the location of the SDK is usually:
- Windows:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk - MacOS:
/Users/<username>/Library/Android/Sdk/ - Linux:
/home/<username>/Android/Sdk/
Then, go to the app’s root directory in the command line tool and run:
$ ./gradlew :app:assemblePlayProdDebugThe APK will be in app/build/outputs/apk/play/prod/debug/.
