Installation of Android Studio

Installation of Android Studio



Hey Fellas, today we will be learning how to install android studio. Now let’s jump to the discussion.
As a mobile developer, the Android SDK is an integral part of your development environment, and as such it’s important for new developers to know how to download and install Android SDK or, the more popular, Android Studio. The main difference between the two is package size, and features. The Android SDK is the bare bones version of the package and it doesn’t include either of the two IDEs (interactive development environments): Android Studio or Eclipse. Android Studio includes its own IDE as well as a second IDE, known as Eclipse. If you elect to download Android Studio, on the other hand, your package will contain both IDEs, as well as the Android SDK.

How to Install Android Studio?

Before we get started, you’ll need to ensure that you have installed JDK 6 or higher (JDK7 is required for Android 5.0 and higher) on your PC. We are going to see how android in installed on Windows platform
Note: All of the following instructions, as well as the installation tutorials are for your PC. You can’t download or install Android Studio on your Android device.

To check your version, open terminal and type:
 javac -version


If the JDK doesn’t show up, or you have an older version and would like to upgrade, download JDK from here!.

Download Android Studio

Google provides Android Studio for the Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms. You can download this software from the Android Studio homepage. (You'll also find the traditional SDKs, with Android Studio's command-line tools, available from the Downloads page.) Before downloading Android Studio, make sure your platform meets one of the following requirements:

Windows OS



·         Microsoft Windows 7/8/10 (32-bit or 64-bit)
·         2 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB RAM recommended
·         2 GB of available disk space minimum, 4 GB Recommended (500 MB for IDE + 1.5 GB for Android SDK and emulator system image)
·         1280 x 800 minimum screen resolution
·         JDK 8
·         For accelerated emulator: 64-bit operating system and Intel processor with support for Intel VT-x, Intel EM64T (Intel 64), and Execute Disable (XD) Bit functionality

Installing Android Studio on 64-bit Windows 8.1


I launched android-studio-bundle-143.2821654-windows.exe to start the installation process. The installer responded by presenting the Android Studio Setup dialog box shown in Figure 1.
figure 1. Set up an Android Studio
Clicking Next took me to the following dialog box, which gives you the option to decline installing the Android SDK (included with the installer) and an Android Virtual Device (AVD).
figure 2. do you want to install the Android SDK and AVD?
I chose to keep the default settings. After clicking Next, you'll be taken to the license agreement dialog box. Accept the license to continue the installation.

The next dialog box invites you to change the installation locations for Android Studio and the Android SDK.

Change the location or accept the default locations and click Next.
The installer defaults to creating a shortcut for launching this program, or you can choose to decline. I recommend that you create the shortcut, then click the Install button to begin installation.

The resulting dialog box shows the progress of installing Android Studio and the Android SDK. Clicking the Show Details button will let you view detailed information about the installation progress.
The dialog box will inform you when installation has finished. When you click Next, you should see the following:
