6<p>The ADT Bundle provides everything you need to start developing apps, including
7a version of the Eclipse IDE with built-in <b>ADT (Android Developer Tools)</b> to
8streamline your Android app development.
9If you haven't already, go download the <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/index.html"
10>Android ADT Bundle</a>. (If you downloaded the SDK Tools only, for use with an
11existing IDE, you should instead read
12<a href="{@docRoot}sdk/installing/index.html">Setting Up an Existing IDE</a>.)</p>
13
14<h3>Install the SDK and Eclipse IDE</h3>
15<ol>
16<li>Unpack the ZIP file
17(named {@code adt-bundle-&lt;os_platform>.zip}) and save it to an appropriate location,
18such as a "Development" directory in your home directory.</li>
19<li>Open the {@code adt-bundle-&lt;os_platform>/eclipse/} directory and launch
20<strong>eclipse</strong>.</li>
21</ol>
22
23<p>That's it! The IDE is already loaded with the Android Developer Tools plugin and
24the SDK is ready to go. To start developing, read <a href="{@docRoot}training/basics/firstapp/index.html"
25>Building Your First App</a>.</p>
26
27<p class="caution"><strong>Caution:</strong> Do not move any of the files or directories
28from the {@code adt-bundle-&lt;os_platform>} directory. If you move the {@code eclipse}
29or {@code sdk} directory, ADT will not be able to locate the SDK and you'll
30need to manually update the ADT preferences.</p>
