⚙️ Setup & Configuration

First launch

On first installation, AndroidPE automatically downloads and installs the necessary base assets (icons, drawables, TextMate grammars) and the Linux rootfs for the terminal. After this initial setup, the application is fully usable for all basic features without any additional installation.

Enable advanced features (autocompletion, compilation, diagnostics)

Open a new terminal session inside the app and run:

rkb setup ide

This command downloads and configures everything needed for the IDE to function at full capacity: JDK, Android SDK, LSP servers, and all required toolchains.

Optional: NDK

If you need native (C/C++) compilation support:

rkb install ndk

Then choose the target NDK version when prompted.

Optional: Flutter / Dart

rkb setup flutter

Approximately 2 GB of data will be downloaded.

Upgrading from an older version

Users who used AndroidPE before the Kotlin LSP update should run:

rkb update

This command checks all installed tools for updates and installs any missing components.
