Install Android Studio in Ubuntu

A quick tutorial to get you started on building your Android app

In this piece, we’ll cover how to install Android Studio in Ubuntu system. Simply follow the steps below and start building your Android app!

Install JDK 6 or Later

Let’s get started by installing Oracle JDK 8 with the following commands:

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 confirm the installation was successful, open a terminal and type:

javac -version

Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the location of your JDK installation.

Download and Install Android Studio

Download the Android Studio package for Linux and extract it somewhere (e.g home directory).

To launch Android Studio, open a terminal, navigate to the android-studio/bin/ directory, and execute studio.sh.

cd android-studio/bin
./studio.sh

Select whether you want to import your previous Android Studio settings or not, then click OK.

Set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable to the location of your Android SDK installation:

sudo gedit ~/.bashrcexport ANDROID_HOME=/home/user_directory/Android/Sdk
export PATH=${PATH}:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle

Install SDK Platforms

You need to install an SDK before you can jump into building Android apps.

Click on Configure -> SDK Manager to open Android SDK Manager.

Select the latest API in order to test against target build, e.g. API 19 (Android 4.4.2), and the Android Support Library and Android Support Repository packages in Extras. Then install the selected packages.
