Answer 3

As an alternate solution, you can download the Android Studio version that you want to upgrade to directly. For instance, 2.1 is located here:

2.1 @ Android Tools

Make sure that you import your old settings. Also, pull your SDK out of the old install folder and point the new installation at it, if necessary. This will ensure consistency across installs.

Answer 4

What you have to do is simple:

1. Make sure you can run android studio from command line using studio.sh
2. If you have an open project in android studio go in "File > Close project" and close it
3. A small window opens up, wait for the notification for the update to appear and click on it
4. If 3 doesn't work, close android studio, repeat number 1 and 3

Let me know if it works

Answer 5

I also faced this problem.

In 64 bit machine android studio installed in 2 different version 32bit and 64bit. At the time of update and restart 32bit android studio selected by default. and when it load 64bit android studio.

To solve this problem please select 64 bit at the time of update and restart.

hope it will work.

Answer 6

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).
