Installation
============

Buildozer itself doesn't depend on any library, and works on Python 2.7 and >=
3.3. Depending the platform you want to target, you might need more tools
installed. Buildozer tries to give you hints or tries to install few things for
you, but it doesn't cover every situation.

First, install the buildozer project with::

    pip install --upgrade buildozer

Targeting Android
-----------------

If you target Android, you must install at least Cython, few build libs, and a
Java SDK. Some binaries of the Android SDK are still in 32 bits, so you need
few 32bits libraries available:
