The SDK is available on github.
We use Repo manage Git repositories. Clone Repo from android Git repositories or other mirrors and install it.
For Lindenis V5, download the SDK via:

The Download time depends on your network connection speed. After finish the download, you should get below directories:

Start a branch for local workspace:
$ repo start v5 --all
