How to add android sdk to not setup(new) Android Studio

Question

I installed Android Studio and when I try to start it, it automatically starts to download some packages.

I already have android sdk and I want my studio to use this one instead of downloading.

How can I do it?

Please, take into account that Android Studio is not set up yet.

I prefer downloading the .zip version rather than the .exe version. Go to the link http://tools.android.com/download/studio/builds/1-4-0 and download the Plain .zip file there based on the OS you are using. For window it is: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/studio/ide-zips/1.4.0.10/android-studio-ide-141.2288178-windows.zip

Once that's done, extract the zip and follow this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30012311/4747587 . This will ensure that when you first start studio downloading does not happen.

Start Studio. Go to Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK . Give your SDK path here.
