Every time I install a new computer I battle for a full 2 days or more to get it all installed and working. I use LUbuntu 14.10 64bit, but this guide should work for any flavour of ubuntu.

Install Virtual box from software center or download from virtualbox.org (if you need USB support) if from oracle download and install virtualbox from oracle sudo apt-get install -f

If using 64bit ubuntu add following 3 lines

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g:i386

download JAVA SDK from oracle. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html extract into home folder. NB: Java8 does not work with Titanium SDK 3.4 Download V7 for Titanium SDK 3.4 or lower Download V8 for Titanium SDK 3.4.x or higher

sudo apt-get install libjpeg62 libwebkitgtk-1.0-0

Edit ~/.profile file

nb: replace "jdk1.8.0_25" with the folder name of the version of java you extracted

export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/mozilla export JAVA_HOME=$HOME/jdk1.8.0_25 export ANDROID_SDK=$HOME/android-sdk-linux export ANDROID_NDK=$HOME/android-ndk-linux export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$ANDROID_SDK/tools:$ANDROID_SDK/platform-tools:$PATH
