~Every command will be initiated from the terminal.

  Installing Sun Java on Newer versions of Ubuntu (10.04 an above), Linux Mint
  Open the terminal and type the following:
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade
  sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer


~That should install the Sun Java version on your system. To change to it simply do the following in case you have other java alternatives:

  sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-7-oracle


~If you want the installation to be automatic type the following:
  sudo echo oracle-java7-installer shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | sudo /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections

~after that simply do the following to set the default environment variables:

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-set-default


~Note that the PPA includes versions 6, 7 and 8. So you can install any of them by simply changing the number in the   installation line, for example..

  sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

 ..Would install Java 8. After installing the Java version you wish to use and setting the version to the default with   the update-java-alternatives command, you can check which version you are using by typing the following:

  java -version

 It will show you the default version you are using at that moment.

~Now to install the needed tools to compile. Run the following command:

sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev squashfs-tools build-   essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev  pngcrush schedtool libxml2 libxml2-utils xsltproc g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev gcc-multilib


~Now you need to set up your directories :

  mkdir -p ~/bin
  mkdir -p ~/android

~Install the repo command

~Enter the following to download the "repo" binary and make it executable (runnable):
  curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

~Put the ~/bin directory in your path of execution
Make sure that the ~/bin directory you just created is in your path of execution so that you can easily run the repo command even when you're not in ~/bin. Assuming you are using the BASH shell, the default in recent versions of Ubuntu, you can set it like this:

  export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin
