System Requirements
To install and run AIR your development environment must meet these minimum requirements:
- Linux
- 1.3GB free disk space (for the AIR SDK and does not include other tools)
- A version of Java 11 JDK
Download the SDK
- Download the latest release bundle of the AIR SDK:
Loading ...
For older versions see the SDK releases page.
- Extract the bundle in the desired location, for example:
cd ~/sdks/air
unzip ~/Downloads/AIRSDK_Linux.zip
Set your Environment
Next you will want to add the AIR SDK tools to your path so you can execute the build commands.
- Permanently adding the path will depend on the shell you are using on your machine. Typing
echo $SHELL
in your Terminal will generally tell you which sheel you are using and then you can edit therc
file for that shell type, the most common types are:
/bin/bash
: Edit the.bash_profile
or.bashrc
file/bin/zsh
: Edit the.zshrc
file
- Once you have determined the shell type add the following changing the
[AIR_SDK_PATH]
to be the path you extracted the AIR SDK to above:
export AIR_HOME=[AIR_SDK_PATH]
export PATH="${PATH}":"${AIR_HOME}/bin"
Run
source ~/.<rc file>
or start a new Terminal window to refresh the environment.Verify the AIR SDK
bin
directory is in your path by running:
echo $PATH
Verify you can access the AIR SDK commands by running:
which adt adl
note
You can check the version of the AIR SDK by running
adt -version
Java
You must make sure you have version of Java 11 installed and that your JAVA_HOME
environment variable is set to the JDK’s folder.
