Answer 1

Try the following:

1. After the patch was downloaded and Android Studio closed, open the terminal
2. Go to your android studio folder, e.g. cd ~/android-studio
3. Go to bin subfolder: cd bin
4. Make sure your studio.sh file has run permissions: chmod +x studio.sh
5. Run Android Studio from here: ./studio.sh

After that Android Studio will find the patch and install it. Then you may close Android Studio and run it the regular way (whatever way you prefer, I run it from Launcher pad).
