install configure – android sdk, phonegap, genymotion, eclipse plugin – crunchbang 11 / debian wheezy

i use Crunchbang 11 (debian wheezy) 64 bit, Oracle Java JDK

Install libraries for linux 64 bit

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 lib32z1

if use other linux 64 see this link

Install Android SDK

download from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download

i have installed eclipse, so I choose SDK Tools Only http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.3-linux.tgz

download and extract

my extract path is ~/downloads/android-sdk-linux

# move to /usr/lib

sudo mv ~/downloads/android-sdk-linux /usr/lib

# run avd, and update library api

cd /usr/lib/android-sdk-linux/tools

./android

choose api and install (pst… u just need SDK Platform, ARM EABI System Image, Intel X86 Atom System Image, Google APIs)

Config Value Android SDK to local environtment

# create  .bash_profile file

cd ~

nano .bash_profile

# fill with value

export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/lib/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools:/usr/lib/android-sdk-linux/tools

# save, and execute

.bash_profile

# test echo PATH variable

echo $PATH$

Install Node.js

(IMHO) you need node.js to install phonegap version 3.3

download node.js from http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.24/node-v0.10.24.tar.gz

extract it (~/downloads/node)

cd ~/downloads/node
./configure
make
sudo make install

wait until finish (grab some tea, coffee or sleep)

Install Phonegap & Cordova

when finish install node.js

sudo npm install -g cordova

sudo npm install -g phonegap

Test Phonegap

lets say i have workspace folder for android

$ cd ~/workspace

$ phonegap create hello -n HelloWorld -i com.example.hello

$ cd ~/workspace/hello

$ phonegap -V build android

if you have error check this
