# Establishing a Build Environment
## Installing the Android NDK
The Android NDK is required to build native modules for Android.
Download the NDK r19 or newer archive from the following site:
[Download the Android NDK on developer.android.com](https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/index.html)
To install the Android NDK, simply expand the archive in the folder where you want to install it.
## OpenSSL
Google removed openssl from Android 7+. You must build openssl libs by yourself.
# Configure the NDK path
Edit the `mkall` script to configure NDK path. Set the `NDK` to the directory where the NDK is installed.
# Build SRT for Android
Run `/bin/bash mkall > build.log` script. Libraries will be installed to `./target-architecture/lib`.
# Export SRT libraries
Run `/bin/bash packjni` to generate `jniLibs` archive for Android Studio.
