and extract the archive containing a single folder
called `android-ndk-r…`; move this folder e.g. to `~/android-ndk-r…`.

`export ANDROID_NDK=/home/USERNAME/android-ndk-r…`
`export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_NDK`.
The last two steps may be omitted by using the new Android Studio NDK options,
however, thus far, we have not found the time to do so.
