Help needed building a project to android in 4.3.

[lucid kite]

I'm new to godot, and I found the official documentation to do this but the documentation assumes I know things I don't. I'm currently struggling with the Command Prompt trying to get it to run the sdkmanager
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/contributing/development/compiling/compiling_for_android.html

and the file is indeed at this location

[lucid kite]

"The system cannot find the file specified"
I solved that specific issue, the command supplied neaded to be rewritten, and I also need to have java installed but I got through it

now trying to figure out what the next step means, because It assumes I know how to use scons

Linked in the article is "For a general overview of SCons usage for Godot, see Introduction to the buildsystem."

Make sure to read everything carefully

okay so trying to get Scon setup, I have Python 3.13 installed, I'm not sure which file to download from the download page. I'm reading through the documentation for Scon but it's not making much sense https://scons.org/pages/download.html

[copper bolt]

Use the pip installer

[lucid kite]

(I've never used python before)

[copper bolt]

py -m pip install scons

[lucid kite]

in python or the command prompt?

[copper bolt]

command prompt

[lucid kite]

should I be concerned about this warning?

[copper bolt]

That needs to be added to the "path" environment variable

Easiest way if you're not familiar: Go to apps and settings and use "modify" on python installer

[copper bolt]

click next until you see this

Then check "Add python to env"

[lucid kite]

gotcha

that's doing the same thing when we added ANDROID_HOME to the environment variables?

[copper bolt]

yeah

[lucid kite]

thanks!!

[copper bolt]

You'll have to reopen the command-prompt and/or vscode window for it to take effect

[lucid kite]

gotcha
