Hi If you want to install android studio on ubuntu you shoudl first have Java JDk on ubuntu. Installing Java SDK

First you have to install Oracle on Java 7 (JDK and JRE)

Download Java SDK 32 or 64 bit depending upon your version.

java sdk on ubuntu

Then extract the file in the /tmp folder.Al dialogue box will pop up, click on replace all.An error will also pop out click close.

Go to tmp folder,a new folder name jdk and version must be created.right click on the folder and then click on rename and copy the name of the folder.

Paste this command

mv /tmp/jdk1.8* /usr/lib/jvm/  

jdk1.8* = replace it with the name of the extracted folder in this example =jdk1.8.0_05

and press enter

sdk install linux

java,javac,jar,javaws = we have to replace these

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8*/bin/java 1065
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8*/bin/javac 1065

Here's how I installed android studio on xubuntu.

1. Install JDK:

Go through following commands to install jdk

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-set-default

If you want to install other version of jdk than replace your version number with 7 in last two commands.

2. Download the latest android studio from official site: https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html

It is better to use latest version of android studio because I tried to install version 1.5.1 and it was not working. Then I installed version 2.1.1 and it run perfectly.

3. Extract downloaded android studio file in whichever folder you want. Now go to extracted android studio-->bin directory and open terminal here. Now run following:

   ./studio.sh

And that's it. If you are facing any problem than comment below.

You could always follow the official guide on how to install Android Studio on Linux. There's even a video you can watch!

https://developer.android.com/studio/install.html

Remember to select Linux in the drop-down box.

To summarise the steps: download Android Studio and extract it and execute studio.sh to run it. If you're running 64-bit Ubuntu, you will need to run:

sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32stdc++6
