+The following prerequisities can be installed with the setup script `scripts/setup.sh` or manually as described below:
+
 - Flutter 3.0.5 [(install manually or with git, do not install with snap)](https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install)
 - Dart SDK Requirement (>=2.17.0, up until <3.0.0)
 - Android setup ([Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio) and subsequent dependencies)
 
-After that download the project and init the submodules
+### Scripted setup
+[`scripts/setup.sh`](https://github.com/cypherstack/stack_wallet/blob/main/scripts/setup.sh) is provided as a tool to set up a stock Ubuntu 20.04 installation for building: download the script and run it anywhere.  This script should skip the entire [Manual setup](#manual-setup) section below and prepare you for [running](#running).  It will set up the stack_wallet repository in `~/projects/stack_wallet` and build it there.

+### Manual setup
+After installing the prerequisites listed above, download the code and init the submodules

+
+## Android Studio
+Android Studio is the recommended IDE for development, not just for launching on Android devices and emulators but also for Linux desktop development.  Install it and configure it as follows:
+```
+# setup android studio
+sudo apt install -y openjdk-11-jdk
+sudo snap install android-studio --classic
+```
+
+Use Tools > SDK Manager to install the SDK Tools > Android SDK (API 30), SDK Tools > NDK, SDK Tools > Android SDK command line tools, and SDK Tools > CMake
+
+Then install the Flutter plugin and restart the IDE.  In Android Studio's options for the Flutter language, enable auto format on save to match the project's code style.  If you have problems with the Dart SDK, make sure to run `flutter` in a terminal to download it (use `source ~/.bashrc` to update your environment variables if you're still using the same terminal from which you ran `setup.sh`)
