Installation
============
Buildozer itself doesn't depend on any library Python >= 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::
pip3 install --user --upgrade buildozer
Targeting Android
-----------------
Android on Ubuntu 18.04 (64bit)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(expected to work as well in later version, but only regularly tested in the latest LTS)
::
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y git zip unzip openjdk-8-jdk python3-pip autoconf libtool pkg-config zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev libtinfo5 cmake
pip3 install --user --upgrade cython virtualenv # the --user should be removed if you do this in a venv
# add the following line at the end of your ~/.bashrc file
export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin/
