Hello Ted: As David mentioned before, the best and easiest (and free!) way to go is to use Eclipse.
If you don´t have the JAVA SDK, install it first. ( http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp) I used JDK 6 Update 7. - Donwload Eclipse (I used Ganymede) - Unzip it and run. - On Eclipse, go to Windows / Preferences, select Install / Update and then click on the link for Automatic Updates, change the settings to: Look for updates each time the platform is started Search for updates and notify me when they are available Notify me once about updates Click on apply and then Ok. Restart Eclipse, let the auto-update run. Then go to Help / Software Updates; check Show Only the Latest Versions of Available Software. Then check http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede and select the following packages: Java Development Web and Java EE Development Click Install and wait for the updates to be downloaded / installed. Restart Eclipse when asked. Now close Eclipse. Unpack the Android SDK in a directory. Start Eclipse, go to Help / Software Update, click on Add Site, enter the URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ Click on Install. It should work as advertised!
