 Server builds are bundled with each released build (in Releases). If you'd rather compile on your own, replace 'desktop' with 'server', e.g. `gradlew server:dist`.
 
+#### Android
+
+1. Install the Android SDK [here.](https://developer.android.com/studio#downloads) Make sure you're downloading the "Command line tools only", as Android Studio is not required.
+2. Create a file named `local.properties` inside the Mindustry directory, with its contents looking like this: `sdk.dir=<Path to Android SDK you just downloaded, without these bracket>`. For example, if you're on Windows and installed the tools to C:\\tools, your local.properties would contain `sdk.dir=C:\\tools` (*note the double backslashes are required instead of single ones!*).
+3. Run `gradlew android:assembleDebug` (or `./gradlew` if on linux/mac). This will create an unsigned APK in `android/build/outputs/apk`.
+4. (Optional) To debug the application on a connected phone, do `gradlew android:installDebug android:run`. It is **highly recommended** to use IntelliJ for this instead, however.
+
 ##### Troubleshooting
 
 If the terminal returns `Permission denied` or `Command not found` on Mac/Linux, run `chmod +x ./gradlew` before running `./gradlew`. *This is a one-time procedure.*
