Setting up Android Studio
Setting up Android Studio is quite straightforward if a little lengthy. Grab some refreshments and get started with the following steps. This tutorial will install Android Studio to the D drive. I chose the D drive because it is a big install, around 12 GB once we have everything downloaded, and the D drive on many PCs is typically larger and has more free space than the C drive. Should you wish to install on the C drive (or any other drive), then these instructions should be easy to adjust:
- Visit https://developer.android.com/studio and click the Download Android Studio button. This will begin the download of the latest stable version for Windows. You will need to accept the terms and conditions to commence the download.
- While you are waiting for the download to complete, create a new folder on the root of your D drive called
Android
. Inside theAndroid
folder, create another new folder calledAndroid Studio
. Navigate back to theAndroid
folder...
