-<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>
-
-<h2 id=software-requirements>Software requirements</h2>
-
-<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
- href="initializing.html">Establishing a Build Environment</a> for
- additional required packages and the commands to install them.</p>
-
-<h3 id=latest-version>OS and JDK</h3>
-
-<p>If you are developing against the AOSP <code>master</code> branch, use one
-of these operating systems: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) or Mac OS v10.10 (Yosemite)
-or later with Xcode 4.5.2 and Command Line Tools.</p>
-
-<p>For the Java Development Kit (JDK), note the <code>master</code> branch of
-Android in AOSP comes with a prebuilt version of OpenJDK; so no additional
-installation is required. Older versions require a separate install.</p>
-
-<p>See <a href="#older-versions">Packages for older versions</a>.
-
-<h3 id=packages>Key packages</h3>
- <ul>
- <li>Python 2.6 -- 2.7 from <a href="http://www.python.org/download/">python.org</a></li>
- <li>GNU Make 3.81 -- 3.82 from <a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/">gnu.org</a>
- <li>Git 1.7 or newer from <a href="http://git-scm.com/download">git-scm.com</a></li>
- </ul>
-
-<h3 id=binaries>Device binaries</h3>
-<p>Download previews, factory images, drivers, over-the-air (OTA) updates, and
-other blobs below. See <a
- href="/setup/building.html#obtaining-proprietary-binaries">Obtaining
- proprietary binaries</a> for additional details.</p>
- <ul>
- <li><a href="https://developers.google.com/android/blobs-preview">Preview
- binaries (blobs)</a> - for AOSP <code>master</code> branch
- development</li>
- <li><a href="https://developers.google.com/android/images">Factory
- images</a> - for the supported devices running tagged AOSP release
- branches</li>
- <li><a href="https://developers.google.com/android/drivers">Binary
- hardware support files</a> - for devices running tagged AOSP release
- branches</li>
- </ul>
-
- <h3 id=toolchain>Build toolchain</h3>
-
- <p>Android 8.0 and later support only <a
-href="https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/standalone_toolchain.html#working_with_clang">Clang/LLVM</a>
- for building the Android platform. Join the <a
-href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/android-llvm">android-llvm</a>
- group to pose questions and get help. Report NDK/compiler issues at the <a
-href="https://github.com/android-ndk/ndk">NDK GitHub</a>.</p>
-
-<p>For the
-<a href="https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/index.html">Native
-Development Kit (NDK)</a> and legacy kernels, GCC 4.9 included
-in the AOSP master branch (under <code>prebuilts/</code>) may also be used.</p>
-
-<h3 id=older-versions>Packages for older versions</h3>
-
-<p>The sections below provide relevant operating systems and JDK packages for
-older versions of Android.</p>
-
-<h4 id=operating-system>Operating system</h4>
-
-<p>Android is typically built with a GNU/Linux or Mac OS operating system. It is
- also possible to build Android in a virtual machine on unsupported systems such
- as Windows.</br>
-
- <h5 id=linux>GNU/Linux</h5>
-
- <ul>
- <li>Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) - AOSP master: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty)</li>
- <li>Android 2.3.x (Gingerbread) - Android 5.x (Lollipop): Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise)</li>
- <li>Android 1.5 (Cupcake) - Android 2.2.x (Froyo): Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)</li>
- </ul>
-
-<h5 id=mac>Mac OS (Intel/x86)</h5>
-
- <ul>
- <li>Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) - AOSP master: Mac OS v10.10 (Yosemite) or
- later with Xcode 4.5.2 and Command Line Tools</li>
- <li>Android 5.x (Lollipop): Mac OS v10.8 (Mountain Lion) with Xcode 4.5.2
- and Command Line Tools</li>
- <li>Android 4.1.x-4.3.x (Jelly Bean) - Android 4.4.x (KitKat): Mac OS v10.6
- (Snow Leopard) or Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) and Xcode 4.2 (Apple's Developer
- Tools)</li>
- <li>Android 1.5 (Cupcake) - Android 4.0.x (Ice Cream Sandwich): Mac OS
- v10.5 (Leopard) or Mac OS X v10.6 (Snow Leopard) and the Mac OS X v10.5
- SDK</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p><b>Note</b>: consider building on GNU/Linux, not another
- operating system. The Android build system normally uses ART,
- running on the build machine, to pre-compile system dex files. Since
- ART is able to run only on Linux, the build system skips this
- pre-compilation step on non-Linux operating systems, resulting in an
- Android build with reduced performance.</p>
-
-<h4 id=jdk>JDK</h4>
-
-<p>See <a href="initializing.html#installing-the-jdk">Installing the JDK</a>
-for the prebuilt path and installation instructions for older versions.</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Android 7.0 (Nougat) - Android 8.0 (O release): Ubuntu - <a
- href="http://openjdk.java.net/install/">OpenJDK 8</a>, Mac OS - <a

- </ul>
-
- <h4 id=make>Make</h4>
- <p> Android 4.0.x (Ice Cream Sandwich) and earlier will need to <a

- to avoid build errors.</p>
