Android Studio error after ./studio.sh

Question

After ./studio.sh in a terminal I get this error \"tools.jar is not in android studio classpath Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE\"

Answer 1

I solved the problem combining Jerome's and Jarod's answer:

1. Install JDK -- sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
2. Environment Variable -- sudo nano /etc/environment adding the following line:
3. JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386
4. Reboot, and Android Studio starts up. (I had added also a link to studio.sh to the main menu).

Also I just found https://stackoverflow.com/a/17827697/2533809 which seems to have a nice write-up, pretty much the same answer.
