Can't update android studio on Ubuntu

Question

I am trying to update my studio from version 2.2.3 to 2.3 in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I am very new to Ubuntu and I can't seem to figure out as why is studio not updating. When I click update and restart it downloads the patches and closes and doesn't restarts. When I open it manually then it still is on the version 2.2.3 and again prompts to download and install latest version.

Answer 1

I am having a similar problem while updating from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3.

Go to the bin folder of your Android Studio installation folder: eg cd opt/android-studio/bin

Provide run permission for studio.sh file: chmod +x studio.sh

Run Android Studio from here: ./studio.sh

and try "update and restart" from android studio.
