How to install Android Studio on Ubuntu?

Question

I have to install Android Studio on Ubuntu and I have used this link to download Android Studio.

Is there any easy way to install Studio on Ubuntu?

Answer 1

Below are the steps to install Android Studio in Ubuntu system:

1. Install JDK 6 or later

First, install Oracle JDK 8 (although you could also choose OpenJDK but it has some UI/performance issues) using WebUpd8 PPA .

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

To make sure, it's installed successfully, open a terminal and type (you should get the version number of the jdk you've installed eg javac 1.8.0_11)

javac -version

2. Download and install Android Studio

Download the Android Studio package for Linux and extract it somewhere (eg home directory). Then type :

cd android-studio/bin
./studio.sh

3. Install SDK Platforms

You need to install some SDK before you jump into building android apps. Click on Configure -> SDK Manage r to open Android SDK Manager. Select the latest API (to test against target build, eg API 19 (Android 4.4.2)) and some packages in Extras (Android Support Library and Android Support Repository). Then install the selected packages.

Answer 2

Download the Linux SDK from the Android website . Copy the folder to whereever you want to extract the contents. Open a terminal there, and then run:

sudo apt-get install unzip
sudo tar xvzf android-studio-ide-135.1641136-linux.zip
cd android-studio-ide-135.1641136-linux
./studio.sh

JDK 1.7 is required for Studio 1.0 onwards:

1. Download the ubuntu zip from the d.android.com and repeat the steps from above

2. Download the jdk 1.7 by executing the following commands in terminal as mentioned webupd8 :
   
   

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

3. Open Android Studio and install the SDK tools.

Caveats:

1. If your system has a 32 bit processor, use Platform Tools r23.0.1 . Refer to this bug for details.

Note: If you are running a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you need to install some 32-bit libraries with the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 lib32z1

Source: - linux-32-bit-librarie s

Answer 3

Run the following command on terminal.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:paolorotolo/android-studio
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-studio

Answer 4

Don't forget to run:

/opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh

when you are done installing.

Answer 5

Here's how I installed android studio on xubuntu.

1. Install JDK:

Go through following commands to install jdk

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-set-default

If you want to install other version of jdk than replace your version number with 7 in last two commands.

2. Download the latest android studio from official site: https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html

It is better to use latest version of android studio because I tried to install version 1.5.1 and it was not working. Then I installed version 2.1.1 and it run perfectly.

3. Extract downloaded android studio file in whichever folder you want. Now go to extracted android studio-->bin directory and open terminal here. Now run following:

   ./studio.sh

And that's it. If you are facing any problem than comment below.

Answer 7

The easiest method to install Android Studio (or any other developer tool) on Ubuntu is to use the snap package from Ubuntu Software store. No need to download Android Studio as zip, try to manually install it, add PPAs or fiddle with Java installation. The snap package bundles the latest Android Studio along with OpenJDK and all the necessary dependencies.

Step 1: Install Android Studio

Search "android studio" in Ubuntu Software, select the first entry that shows up and install it:

Or if you prefer the command line way, run this in Terminal :

sudo snap install --classic android-studio

Step 2: Install Android SDK

Open the newly installed Android Studio from dashboard:

Don't need to import anything if this is the first time you're installing it:

The Setup Wizard'll guide you through installation:

Select Standard install to get the latest SDK and Custom in-case you wanna change the SDK version or its install location. From here on, it's pretty straightforward, just click next-next and you'll have the SDK downloaded and installed.

Step 3: Setting PATHs (Optional)

This step might be useful if you want Android SDK's developer tool commands like adb , fastboot , aapt , etc available in Terminal . Might be needed by 3rd party dev platforms like React Native, Ionic, Cordova, etc and other tools too. For setting PATHs, edit your ~/.profile file:

gedit ~/.profile

and then add the following lines to it:

# Android SDK Tools PATH
export ANDROID_HOME=${HOME}/Android/Sdk
export PATH="${ANDROID_HOME}/tools:${PATH}"
export PATH="${ANDROID_HOME}/emulator:${PATH}"
export PATH="${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools:${PATH}"

If you changed SDK location at the end of Step 2, don't forget to change the line export ANDROID_HOME=${HOME}/Android/Sdk accordingly. Do a restart (or just logout and then log back in) for the PATHs to take effect.

Tested on Ubuntu 16.04LTS and above. Would work on 14.04LTS too if you install support for snap packages first .
