Before we continue,  you need to see if you can run my custom application.  This

will be referenced in the tutorial.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/x78v4qgh6livewo/TomsSystemPathMaker.exe?dl=0

Please Download this app, and run it as administrator.  If you get an error,  you likely need to install .net 2 or 3.0 and try again

1. Install Python (write env. variables, custom install, system var, install to C:\)

https://www.python.org/downloads/

2. Install Java (take note of install path)

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

3. Download Ant and extract to C:\

http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

4. Install Android SDK, (install to root of C:\, don't run automatically)

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html

a.  go to the folder now right click on SDK manager click run as admin

b. if this doesn't open,  EEK.  You need to find out why its not.  You can ask here -- watch my troubleshoot video (not up yet) -- or google

c. Install SDK Platform Tools,  SDK Build Tools,  Everything in 5.1.1, and google USB drivers.  ( this will take a while)

5. Download a crosswalk template extract to C:\      (zip)

https://download.01.org/crosswalk/releases/crosswalk/android/stable/10.39.235.16/

6. Download Tom's Pathomitizer and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR (This is custom application I wrote)

Read the EULA,  If you agree, continue.

a.  click the check box to unlock back up,  click back up path

b.  Click Find Java Path, then go through and find your Java Folder.  It should end in a bunch of numbers

c.  Click Find Ant, find your Ant folder

d.  Click Find Android SDK, navigate to your android SDK folder

e.  Click Register Paths, if it worked,  you will get a message.

f.   Open command prompt with admin privileges.

a. Type in Python --version

b.  java -version

c.  adb version

If you get version numbers for all,  you're doing it right

7. Export your RPG Maker Game to somewhere you can find.

8. If you have your own icons and Manifest,  you can ignore this and go to the next step

Otherwise,  Download my Icons pack,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/o6ygika5ob364vo/Icons%20Pack.zip?dl=0

extract this in your www/icons folder.  If you

want to make your own icons,  use those images but dont change the name and resolution

when finished,  go back to my program

a.  Click find next to www.  select your www folder.  Make sure your path ends in www.
    b.  Click the box below and find your crosswalk folder that you extracted.

(if you already have your icons and manifests done before hand,  you can just select your www folder and crosswalk folder, then click compile apk to finish)
(if you have no idea what I'm talking about,  ignore this)

c. Enter the name of your game, version number, orientation
   d.  Click Compile Manifest
   e.  enter your AppID (i.e. com.example.sample) in that format.
   f.  click Compile APK,  give this a while
   g. Move appropriate APK to device to test!
