-   This guide is based on Android Studio 3.1.3 and NDK version r17b.
+<WRAP center round box 60%>This guide is based on Android Studio Electric Eel (which ships with SDK 33). Our scripts work with NDK 23.1.7779620</WRAP>
-====== Getting Android Studio and the NDK ======
+====== Getting Android Studio ======
-You will need to install the latest Android Studio from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
+You will need to install the Android Studio, Electric Eel from here: https://developer.android.com/studio
-Warning though, Android Studio is 887MB.
-Once installed, and Android Studio runs for the first time, it will download a whole lot of SDK stuff for you. This will take time because it is another huge download time (yet, it's automatic).
+Once installed, start Android Studio with Standard Setup options.
-Install the NDK from: http://developer.android.com/ndk/index.html
+You will not have to download the NDK. Our build scripts will do this for you.
-If your NDK was packaged as an installer, the environment variable would have been set. If not, set one in the PATH variable to point to folder where the ndk-build command is located.
+Close Android Studio. You do not need to open it ever again.
+===== Set up required Environment Variables =====
+Open your Windows Environment Variables and create the following two entries:
+  ANDROID_HOME=%LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk
+  JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre
+Close any console windows so that new console windows pick up the new environment variables.
 ===== Getting the Orx repository =====
-   cd <SOME_FOLDER_FOR_ORX>
+In order to develop orx games and application for Android you need to clone the orx repo. Following the [[en:tutorials:orx:cloning_orx_from_github|Cloning Orx from Github and Initial Setup]] article first, so that you can get Orx setup and ready to be compiled. Then head back to here once done.
-   git clone https://github.com/orx/orx
+===== What's in the Orx repository? =====
 There are two important things provided in Orx repository:
-. The Orx library for Android (we can also compile this ourselves, even though one is supplied pre-compiled)
+. The Orx library for Android (we need to compile this ourselves)
 . The Android Demo Project
