Hey guys, hopefully you already have your Android Studio downloaded on a computer. So let's go ahead and start going over how to install it. As you notice on my desktop, I have Android Studio executable right there. So we're gonna go ahead and double-click it. The setup's gonna be verified. And we should get a prompt saying whether or not we want this program to make the following change. We're gonna go ahead and say yes. Now we're just gonna go through the installation process. As you see here, we want to download the Android SDK which is essentially the bread and butter for Android development. And also we want to download the Android Virtual device and Performance for the device. >> And so, the Android Virtual Device will allow you to one, test your applications in your PC or your local host if you don't have an Android device available with you. You'll also be able to change the different type of Android version, or even the different architectures that can be used. So depending on what kind of platform and what you wanna cater your Android device to, or the Android application, I mean. The Android Virtual Device will enable you to kind of make that customization. >> So notice here that there's an extra setting called Performance. And that's actually the HAXM accelerator. So essentially what that does is, most Windows computers are based off the x86 architecture. So if you plan on using an x86 virtual device, which we encourage you guys to do, this module here will actually make it run much faster because these happen to share the same architecture. If you plan on using ARM or MIPS or something like that, you're gonna see a lot of noticeable differences rather than using the actual x86. So this actually gives you a nice speed boost. So after that, we're just gonna go ahead and click Agree. And here we can go ahead and specify where we wanna install our Android. So for me, I wanna have my Android Studio in my Program Files, but I wanna change the location of my SDK. So I like it have it inside of some sort of Programming folder, which is located on my C drive. I'm gonna have it in an android folder, and I'm gonna go ahead and call this sdk. So that's where I want to have it installed. Click Next, and here this is where you get to specify how many gigabytes to give to your virtual device. >> For us, we'll be giving it 2 gigabytes. But if your computer or if you'd like to give it less or custom, you can go ahead and change that as well. >> All right, it's just standard installation procedure. And we should now have Android Studio installing. So as soon as that finishes, you'll get a prompt for Android Studio saying to create new projects and stuff like that. So, go ahead and check it out. We won't be going over specifically all the features that come with it. But as we go along, as we start doing more lessons, we'll kinda glance over and show you different features as we go along. >> And with that, let's go ahead and take a look back at what we've accomplished in this lesson.
