Set up Android Studio for Platform in just a few clicks. First, check the system
requirements. Then
[download the latest version of Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio/platform).

## Linux

| **Note:** Linux machines with ARM-based CPUs aren't supported.

Here are the system requirements for Linux:

| Requirement | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Any 64-bit Linux distribution that supports Gnome, KDE, or Unity DE; GNU C Library (glibc) 2.31 or later. | Latest 64-bit version of Linux |

## Install on Linux

1. Open a terminal and use the `apt` command to
   install the downloaded `.deb` file. Using `apt` helps handle any necessary
   dependencies. Replace `/path/to/your_package.deb` with the
   actual path to the file you downloaded.

       sudo apt update
       sudo apt install ./asfp-current-linux.deb

   The default installation location is `/opt/android-studio-for-platform/`.
2. Launch ASfP by running the
   `studio.sh` script located in the `bin` directory of your installation.

       /opt/android-studio-for-platform/bin/studio.sh

3. On the first launch, you'll be prompted to
   import previous settings (if any) and then guided through the [**setup
   wizard**](https://developer.android.com/studio/platform/projects/create-project). Follow the prompts to
   complete the initial configuration.

4. Optional - To create a desktop entry, select **Tools \> Create Desktop
   Entry** from the ASfP menu bar once the IDE is open.

5. Optional - For easier access from the command line, add the
   `bin` directory to your system's PATH variable. Add the following
   line to your shell configuration file (for example the `~/.bashrc` or
   `~/.zshrc` file):

       export PATH="$PATH:/opt/android-studio-for-platform/bin"

   Remember to source the file by running `source ~/.bashrc` or open a new
   terminal for the changes to take effect.
