Hey Jason,

You need to follow this: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/sdk-manager.html

You need to install the recommended packages in order to set up the emulator. For better performance, I suggest you check out Android Tools: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/android-tools and install Genymotion. It is ALOT quicker than the emulator in Eclipse/Android Studio. Hope this helped!

You can also grab the bundle from our own downloads in the Teacher's Notes which includes the appropriate images to get started.

(Notes for Linux on each page, with a video to come.)

If you want to set up the emulator, you'll have to install packages. You can find them in the SDK-manager (next to the icon of AVD-manager). SDK suggest 2 packages to install. It's a thing good to try this out, but it's better to use Genymotion.
