Install Java JDK 1.8

  • Download jdk-8uversion-linux-x64.tar.gz file from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
  • Unpack the tarball and install the JDK.
    % tar zxvf jdk-8uversion-linux-x64.tar.gz
  • Set up the JAVA_HOME and ANDROID_HOME
    For example, ANDROID_HOME=/home/demo/java/exo-dependencies/Android/AndroidStudio_Latest/SDK
    JAVA_HOME=/home/demo/java/jdk1.8.0_77
    PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$M2_HOME/bin:$GRADLE_HOME/bin:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
Install Android Studio on Ubuntu
Setting up Android Studio takes just a few clicks.
While the Android Studio download completes, verify which version of the JDK you have: open a command line and type javac -version. If the JDK is not available or the version is lower than 1.8, download the Java SE Development Kit 8.
To install Android Studio on Linux, proceed as follows:
  1. Unpack the .zip file you downloaded to an appropriate location for your applications, such as within /usr/local/for your user profile, or /opt/ for shared users.
  2. To launch Android Studio, open a terminal, navigate to the android-studio/bin/ directory, and executestudio.sh.
    Tip: Add android-studio/bin/ to your PATH environment variable so you can start Android Studio from any directory.
  3. Select whether you want to import previous Android Studio settings or not, then click OK.
  4. The Android Studio Setup Wizard guides you though the rest of the setup, which includes downloading Android SDK components that are required for development.
Note: If you are running a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you need to install some 32-bit libraries with the following command:
sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32stdc++6
If you are running 64-bit Fedora, the command is:
sudo yum install zlib.i686 ncurses-libs.i686 bzip2-libs.i686
That's it! The following video shows each step of the recommended setup procedure.
