1.1 Download error with System Image
Android Studio uses tmpfs for download and extract System Image. This uses about 3G Byte memory and causes the following error.
To install: - Google APIs Intel x86 Atom_64 System Image (system-images;android-25;google_apis;x86_64) Preparing "Install Google APIs Intel x86 Atom_64 System Image (revision: 8)". Downloading https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/google_apis/x86_64-25_r08.zip An error occurred while preparing SDK package Google APIs Intel x86 Atom_64 System Image: Cannot download 'https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/google_apis/x86_64-25_r08.zip': No space left on device , response: 200 OK. "Install Google APIs Intel x86 Atom_64 System Image (revision: 8)" failed. Failed packages: - Google APIs Intel x86 Atom_64 System Image (system-images;android-25;google_apis;x86_64)
For avoid this error, use the following Java option and make Android Studio to use /var/tmp which is not tmpfs.
_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/tmp
2 Run Android Studio
Run android-studio.desktop at the launcher or run the following command at the terminal.
$ _JAVA_OPTIONS=-Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/tmp /opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
