How To Install Android Studio

Ready to start developing Android apps? First you must install the official IDE (Integrated Development Environment) Android Studio.

Here is a tutorial I just created to get you started.

Android Studio is the official integrated development environment for creating Android apps for the Android platform. It was announced in 2013 during Google’s I/O conference. The best part about this software is it’s free! Android developers have been enjoying the stable version of this software since May 2014. It is based on JebBeans’ IntelliJ IDEA software and is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

To install the software follow the steps below.

First, you must download Android Studio from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.

Once the download has finished, locate and run the executable.
When you run the installer, click “Yes” or “Run” on any security windows that pop up. Afterwards, you should see the screen below:

Click “Next” to continue.

You will be taken to the “Choose Components” screen. Make sure all check boxes have been checked and click “Next” just like in the screenshot below:

After clicking “Next” you will be taken to Android Studio’s first license agreement.

Click “I Agree” to be taken to Android Studio’s second license agreement.

Just like the first license agreement, click “I Agree” to continue the installation.

After agreeing to the second license agreement you will need to choose your install location. I recommend keeping the defaults and clicking “Next”.

Depending on your system’s configuration, I usually recommend sticking with the “Recommended” value and clicking “Next”.

Select where you would like your shortcut to be placed within the Start Menu. I usually stick with the default and click “Install”.

Android Studio will proceed to install itself.

Once you see that the software installation is complete, click “Next” to continue.

Finally, click “Finish” to complete the installation. Congratulations! You’ve installed Android Studio on your system!
