Next select ‘Install Selected’ press ‘Next’ a couple of times and you should have the SDK installed.

 Optionally you could permanently add `<`SDK`>`/platform-tools to your $PATH, this makes it easier to use ‘adb’. Adb is the main program to communicate with Android, think logging/pushing and pulling files/shell.

+Note when using ant:
+Ant needs a JDK, but tries to use a JRE sometimes (there is usually a separate JRE installation outside the JDK). If you get an error about missing tools.jar, make sure Ant is actually attempting to use the JDK. You can coax it to cooperate by setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the JDK directory.
