Install Android Studio Development Environment

Installing Android Studio and Setting Up Your Environment#

Use the official Android Studio installer for your operating system. Android Studio includes the required JetBrains Runtime, so do not follow old setup guides that install OpenJDK 7.

Linux#

  1. Download Android Studio from the official site.
  2. Unpack the downloaded .tar.gz file somewhere suitable, such as /opt or a directory under your home folder.
  3. Run Android Studio:
cd android-studio/bin
./studio
  1. Complete the setup wizard and install the recommended Android SDK components.

If Android Studio prompts for updates, install them from the IDE.
