how to install the older version of android studio 2.1.2 in ubuntu

Question

how to install the older version of android studio 2.1.2 in ubuntu ? 

Answer 1

I believe if you want to install a specific Android Studio version, you already have the tar.gz installation file. with that lets move on.

EDIT: To get older versions of Android Studio, check here

1. Install JDK on your PC

    sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk

2. Extract the zipped tar.gz file to your preferred location.

3. open the android-studio/bin directory in your terminal and run the command:

    ./studio.sh

That would execute Android Studio, now the app is up and running.

A simpler process if you do not necessarily need an older version would be:

1. running this command on your terminal:

    sudo apt-get install android-studio

This would automatically download Android Studio and Install it from the Ubuntu App Store.
