Of course, in order to work with or build any ARCore applications, we will need to install the SDK for our chosen platform. Follow the given instructions to install the ARCore SDK:
Note
We will use Git to pull down the code we need directly from the source. You can learn more about Git and how to install it on your platform at https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git or use Google to search: getting started installing Git. Ensure that when you install on Windows, you select the defaults and let the installer set the PATH
environment variables.
- Open Command Prompt or Windows shell and navigate to the Android (
C:\Android
on Windows) installation folder. - Enter the following command:
git clone https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk.git
- This will download and install the ARCore SDK into a new folder called
arcore-android-sdk
, as illustrated in the following screenshot:
