I also made a step that can handle both Linux and Mac: [https://github.com/viktorbenei/bitrise-step-install-android-ndk-version](https://github.com/viktorbenei/bitrise-step-install-android-ndk-version)

As it’s not shared in the StepLib (we probably will include this logic in another step and not have a separate one just for the NDK install) you can include it with the `git::` reference style in your `bitrise.yml`:

```auto
    - git::https://github.com/viktorbenei/bitrise-step-install-android-ndk-version.git@master:
        inputs:
        - android_ndk_version: r12b

```

Once added to the `bitrise.yml` you can use the UI to change the version, or just change the version in the YML (in this example above it’ll install `r12b`).
