# 3. Setting up the Android app

Setting up steps for the Trid - City Guide Android app

### Prerequisites

{% hint style="info" %}

* A device running Android 5.0 or newer
* The latest version of Android Studio
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Try to place the project file as close to root (D:/) as possible as windows has a path character limit of 240chars. So, if you get the error:"Failed to crunch file...", reduce the path length.

Ex: D:\Projects\YourProject
{% endhint %}

### **Importing and running**

1. Open Android Studio and click 'open an existing Android Studio project'.
