I just enrolled in this Android course in Coursera. The udemy courses I bought just sucks so maybe I will continue it later, but first I will be focusing on this course – Coursera it’s like a virtual classroom it has quizzes, projects, deadline and grading system.
First, install the following:
- Mac® OS X® 10.8.5 or higher, up to 10.9 (Mavericks)
- 2 GB RAM minimum, 4 GB RAM recommended
- 400 MB hard disk space
- At least 1 GB for Android SDK, emulator system images, and caches
- 1280 x 800 minimum screen resolution
- Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6
- Java Development Kit (JDK) 7
Then if you are using the same mac machine like mine, you might need the following:
1. Install homebrew
paste this on your terminal and run:
ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)”
Then after that paste this:
<span class="pln">brew install caskroom</span><span class="pun">/</span><span class="pln">cask</span><span class="pun">/</span><span class="pln">brew</span><span class="pun">-</span><span class="pln">cask </span><span class="pun">&&</span><span class="pln"> brew update
</span><span class="pln">brew cask install intel</span><span class="pun">-</span><span class="pln">haxm
