Setting up Android Studio takes just a few clicks.
While the Android Studio download
completes, verify which version of the JDK you have:
open a command line and type javac -version. If the JDK
is not available or the version is lower than 1.8, download the Java SE Development Kit 8.
To install Android Studio on Windows, proceed as follows:
Launch the .exe file you downloaded.
Follow the setup wizard to install Android Studio and any necessary SDK tools.
On some Windows systems, the launcher script does not find where the JDK is installed.
If you encounter this problem,
you need to set an environment variable indicating the correct location.
Select Start menu > Computer > System Properties >
Advanced System Properties. Then open Advanced tab > Environment
Variables and add a new system variable JAVA_HOME that points to
your JDK folder, for example C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_77.
That's it!

There are, however, known stability issues in Android Studio on Mac
when using JDK 1.8. Until these issues are resolved, you can improve stability
by downgrading your JDK to an older version (but no lower than JDK 1.6).
To install Android Studio on your Mac, proceed as follows:
Launch the Android Studio DMG file.
Drag and drop Android Studio into the Applications folder, then launch
Android Studio.
Select whether you want to import previous Android Studio settings,

The Android Studio Setup Wizard guides you though the rest of the
setup, which includes downloading Android SDK components
