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. 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.
