1. Getting Started with IOIO > Installation
If you do not want to set your computer up to build your own IOIO apps, the IOIO apps used in the projects in this book are all available, ready built for download from the book’s website [http://www.ioiobook.com].
But if you want to write your own apps for IOIO or want to get a better understanding of how the apps work, you will need to follow the instructions below. You effectively need to install everything that you need for Android software development, and then some extra code specific to making apps that use IOIO.
Overall, the steps involved are:
-
Install Java.
-
Install Eclipse.
-
Install the Android SDK.
-
Install the Eclipse Android ADT Plugin.
-
Import the IOIO library and sample apps.
To install a suitable Java environment and Eclipse, see the instructions at [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation].
