The `compile 'net.zetetic:android-database-sqlcipher:3.5.5-2@aar'` statement will pull the AAR automatically from JCenter, in a typical Android Studio project:

```auto
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

dependencies {
    compile 'net.zetetic:android-database-sqlcipher:3.5.4@aar'
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 24
    buildToolsVersion "24.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 22
    }
}

```
