Installing Android Studio in Ubuntu 18.04

Learning Android app development was one of the things I always wanted to do. So after graduation I was determined to learn Android app development, build an app and publish it in the Google Play Store. The first step in learning Android app development is to setup the Android Studio IDE. Installing Android Studio on Ubuntu 18.04 is pretty straight forward and the best thing is you don’t need to bother with installation of any adb driver.

Download Android Studio from developer.android.com.

Right click and unzip the file or use the unzip command.

    $ unzip android-studio-ide-181.4886486-linux.zip

Change directory into android-studio/bin and execute studio.sh.

    $ cd android-studio/bin
    $ ./studio.sh

Android studio should start successfully and you can click next download the latest Android SDK.
