= Development Environment =
The primary Android application devlopment tools can be set up on any operating system, you are free to use whatever operating system you like, but I'll recommend using the [[ICT_USB_Sticks | ICT USB Stick]] or having your own Linux installation on your own laptop.
That will give you a consistent development environment that will be troule-free, especially compared to using our lab windows images.
If you choose to host your work on Windows or OSX I'll do my best to help when problems happen but it may take longer to figure out what's wrong.
'Before the lab this week' make sure that you purchase a 32GB USB3 memory stick and [[ICT_USB_Sticks | install the image]] on it. Our labs don't have internal harddrives so you'll need to do that in the open lab or at home.
