Android Studio

Download Android Studio from here

Unzip the tar file with:

tar -xvf <file-name>.tag.gz

Inside the android-studio directory, you can open Android Studio from android-studio/bin/studio.sh

You can put the android-studio directory anywhere, or you can make it system-wide by putting it in the /otp directory as ChatGPT suggested.

sudo mv android-studio /otp/android-studio

Then you will need to add the android studio binaries to your env variables.

export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin

(Optional) Add Android Studio to your desktop env

Add a .desktop file for android studio

sudo vim /usr/share/applications/android-studio.desktop

Then add the following content:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Android Studio
Exec=/opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
Icon=/opt/android-studio/bin/studio.png
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;IDE;

JDK or Java Development Kit.

It's required to compile and run apps on the emulator

Install it with:

sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk -y

Or you can download it from adoptium as shown i react native docs

You can change jdk version with:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

Then you can set the JAVA_HOME environment variable based on where the jdk located.

To see jdk 17 location run:
