Hi,

Since we need to have a guide for our teammate I have decided that instead of teaching how to install one by one to my colleagues I will create an online user guide so that any other person online that will be also looking for guide will also have the help that they need. So lets get started.

Prerequisites

• Android Studio
• JDK
• Aptana

Installation Guide

1. Install JDK, just proceed with standard installation process.
2. Install Android Studio, just proceed with standard installation process. Please note that during the installation phase it will also download the Android SDK with is more than 3GB. PLEASE NOTE OF THE SDK INSTALLATION FOLDER AS THIS WILL BE USED ON LATER PROCEDURE.
3. Install Aptana, just proceed with standard installation process. Please also note that during installation phase it will also download some prerequisite application including Node.js& Git
4. Go to START and look for Command Prompt and run it as Administrator.
5. Type the command below and press enter and wait for the installation process to finish. It will take a while depending on your internet connection.

   npm install -g cordova
   npm install -g proto-list
   npm install -g os-tmpdir
   npm install -g os-homedir
   npm install -g are-we-there-yet
   npm install -g gauge
   npm install -g ansi
   npm install -g is-absolute
   npm install -g asap
   npm install -g minimatch
   npm install -g path-is-absolute
   npm install -g validate-npm-package-license
   npm install -g is-builtin-module
   npm install -g concat-stream
   npm install -g json-parse-helpfulerror
   npm install -g block-stream
   npm install -g fstream-ignore
   npm install -g readdir-scoped-modules
   npm install -g debuglog
   npm install -g lodash._baseflatten
   npm install -g lodash._baseuniq
   npm install -g lodash.restparam
   npm install -g unique-slug
   npm install -g phonegap

6. After the installation close all window.
7. Restart your Machine.
8. Go to your SDK folder that is indicated during the installation of the Android Studio.
9. Run SDK Manager and install most of the needed SDK, you may install all the SDK if you want to be sure. It will take a while to install depending on your internet connection.
10. Run AVD Manager and create a virtual device.
11. You may now proceed with the creation of your PhoneGap app.

You may also want to take note the following update on the Environment Variable if it is needed on your side.

ANT_HOME=C:\path\to\ant\folder\apache-ant-1.9.4
ANDROID_HOME=C:\path\to\the\folder\of\Android\sdk
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_79

PATH
