Android Studio is a very powerful and most widely used IDE for creating android applications. It is a great tool but it also consumes a lot of RAM. So if you are having a lower amount of RAM,it will be best for you to Run it in UBUNTU or any Linux based distros as they consume much less Ram than Windows Operating System.. Follow this guide if you want to install android studio in Ubuntu.
How to Download and Install Android Studio in latest version of Ubuntu(18.04 or 18.10 or 19.04)
Installing Android Studio in Linux is almost as easy as Installing it in Windows, only we need to take care of a few things before actually installing the IDE. All the steps are briefly stated below:-
1. Prerequisites
Following are the steps to be followed in any Ubuntu or Debian releases before installing Android Studio:-
i) Check for virtualization support by typing in terminal:-
sudo egrep --color 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l
If the above value returns 4,then you have virtualization support enabled which means you can run AVD tools in Anroid Studio.
ii) Install the necessary 32 bit libraries by typing in terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 lib32z1 libbz2-1.0:i386
If any one of the above fails to install,or gives error message, dont worry,just leave it and install the rest ones
