android list sdk <# This lists out all the things to install.
You want to choose the marked items (x) next to the following for the next command:
x1- Android SDK Tools, revision 23
x2- Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 20
x3- Android SDK Build-tools, revision 19.1
4- Documentation for Android SDK, API 19, revision 2
x5- SDK Platform Android 4.4.2, API 19, revision 3

Alternatively, you can just run "android" and use the GUI :)
