Open a terminal and use the apt command to
install the downloaded .deb file. Using apt helps handle any necessary
dependencies. Replace /path/to/your_package.deb with the
actual path to the file you downloaded.
The default installation location is /opt/android-studio-for-platform/.
Launch ASfP by running the
studio.sh script located in the bin directory of your installation.
/opt/android-studio-for-platform/bin/studio.sh
On the first launch, you'll be prompted to
import previous settings (if any) and then guided through the setup
wizard. Follow the prompts to
complete the initial configuration.
Optional - To create a desktop entry, select Tools > Create Desktop
Entry from the ASfP menu bar once the IDE is open.
Optional - For easier access from the command line, add the
bin directory to your system's PATH variable. Add the following
line to your shell configuration file (for example the ~/.bashrc or
