                 Before running the ADT Installer script, you need to unpack the tarball.
                 You can unpack the tarball in any directory you wish.
+                For example, this command copies the ADT Installer tarball from where 
+                it was built into the home directory and then unpacks the tarball into 
+                a top-level directory named <filename>adt-installer</filename>:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ cd ~
+     $ cp ~/poky/build/tmp/deploy/sdk/adt_installer.tar.bz2 $HOME
+     $ tar -xjf adt_installer.tar.bz2
+                </literallayout>
                 Unpacking it creates the directory <filename>adt-installer</filename>, 
                 which contains the ADT Installer script (<filename>adt_installer</filename>)
                 and its configuration file (<filename>adt_installer.conf</filename>).
