How do I install SDK on my laptop?

You will need to download the Android SDK without Android Studio bundled . Go to Android SDK and navigate to the SDK Tools Only section. Copy the URL for the download that’s appropriate for your build machine OS.

Install SDK Command Line On the Android Studio download page, pick one of the options under “Command line tools only.” Download it and install it to the “Android” folder on your hard drive . In the folder, go to “tools/bin,” then right-click “sdkmanager” and run as administrator.

No, You don’t need to install everything . Install the “SDK Platform” for the Android versions you’ve set as minimum, target, and in-between the minimum & target. The Android SDK Extras are usually not required; but it is useful to be aware of them since they may be required depending on your use case.
