Installing Android SDK on Mac

I'm extremly newish to Mac (now is the first time I see this operating system) and I'm trying to install the Android SDK on it.

I've installed Android SDK before on Windows, but on Mac seems to be totally different, beginning with the fact that I don't have an installer.exe like on Windows which would tell me if I have a right JDK installed.

  1. On Mac is needed to install a JDK to install? If yes, from where because in here there seems to be no mention of mac, only linux and windows.

  2. How can I verify if the right JDK is installed?

Thank you! I know this is something silly to ask, but I really don't manage.

Solution

  • You don't need to install the JDK on Mac OS X. It is installed by default.

    By using the java -version command line utility you can verify that the right version of Java is installed.
