\"Android<\/a><\/p>\n

We are using the Developer Preview (version 0.4.0) of Android Studio at the time of writing. Installation details may change so visit the\u00a0Android Studio<\/a>\u00a0site to check out the latest instructions and to download the relevant setup program.<\/p>\n

From the Android Studio site:<\/p>\n

Android Studio requires JDK 6 or greater (JRE alone is not sufficient). To check if you have JDK installed on a Mac (and which version), open a terminal and type\u00a0javac -version<\/code>. If JDK is not available or the version is lower than 6,\u00a0download JDK from here<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To install Android Studio:<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Download the\u00a0Android Studio<\/strong>\u00a0package from above.<\/li>\n
  2. Install Android Studio and the SDK tools:\n
    Windows:<\/b><\/div>\n
      \n
    1. Launch the downloaded EXE file,\u00a0android-studio-bundle-<version>.exe<\/code>.<\/li>\n
    2. Follow the setup wizard to install Android Studio.\n
      \n
      Known issue:<\/strong>\u00a0On some Windows systems, the launcher script does not find where Java is installed. If you encounter this problem, you need to set an environment variable indicating the correct location.<\/div>\n

      Select\u00a0Start menu > Computer > System Properties > Advanced System Properties<\/strong>. Then open\u00a0Advanced tab > Environment Variables<\/strong>\u00a0and add a new system variable\u00a0JAVA_HOME<\/code>\u00a0that points to your JDK folder, for exampleC:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_21<\/code>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Mac OS X:<\/b><\/div>\n
        \n
      1. Open the downloaded DMG file,\u00a0android-studio-bundle-<version>.dmg<\/code>.<\/li>\n
      2. Drag and drop Android Studio into the Applications folder.\n
        Known issue:<\/strong>\u00a0Depending on your security settings, when you attempt to open Android Studio, you might see a warning that says the package is damaged and should be moved to the trash. If this happens, go to\u00a0System Preferences > Security & Privacy<\/strong>\u00a0and under\u00a0Allow applications downloaded from<\/strong>, select\u00a0Anywhere<\/strong>. Then open Android Studio again.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        Linux:<\/b><\/div>\n
          \n
        1. Unpack the downloaded Tar file,\u00a0android-studio-bundle-<version>.tgz<\/code>, into an appropriate location for your applications.<\/li>\n
        2. To launch Android Studio, navigate to the\u00a0android-studio\/bin\/<\/code>\u00a0directory in a terminal and execute\u00a0studio.sh<\/code>.\n
          You may want to add\u00a0android-studio\/bin\/<\/code>\u00a0to your PATH environmental variable so that you can start Android Studio from any directory.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          That’s it! You’re ready to start developing apps with Android Studio.<\/div>\n
          <\/div>\n
          \n
          Note:<\/strong>\u00a0On Windows and Mac, the individual tools and other SDK packages are saved within the Android Studio application directory. To access the tools directly, use a terminal to navigate into the application and locate the\u00a0sdk\/<\/code>directory. For example:<\/div>\n
          <\/div>\n
          Windows:\u00a0\\Users\\<user>\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\android-studio\\sdk\\<\/code><\/div>\n

          Mac:\u00a0\/Applications\/Android\\ Studio.app\/sdk\/<\/code><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
