I'm using Android Studio and I need to add Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator to it's not compatible with Linux. Is there any software I could use instead and how would I install it onto Android Studio?

Check if your CPU supports hardware virtualization, by typing:
egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo
If the result is 0, your CPU does not support hardware virtualization, which is necessary to run the KVM. If you get 1 or more, that means you’re fine.
Next, install KVM. First make sure if your processor supports KVM by typing:
kvm-ok
You will see this if that’s the case:
INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions INFO: /dev/kvm exists KVM acceleration can be used
If this is the result, you need to turn on Intel VT in BIOS:
INFO: KVM is disabled by your BIOS HINT: Enter your BIOS setup and enable Virtualization Technology (VT), and then hard poweroff/poweron your system KVM acceleration can NOT be used
The next step is to install the KVM and a few other packages needed. To do so, type:
sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils
Add your user to some groups, replacing by your own username:
sudo adduser <user> libvirtd
sudo adduser <user> kvm
Check if everything is ok:
sudo virsh -c qemu:///system list

After following your steps when I launch android to manage SDK and I checkbox ON the
Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)it ignores my request and does not install ... ? Dec 18, 2016 at 17:47 -
@ScottStensland I think SDK manager doesn't have the (root)privilage(maybe) to install, Same in windows, When i don't give administrator access, It won't install it...Check this point and let me know.– user489056Dec 18, 2016 at 17:52

One more thing, In windows, When user checkbox on this installer, It will download the packages, But it doesn't install it. I think in your situation, You'll need to find it and then install it manually, As well as we do this on windows...The path in windows is :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\intelmaybe this can help to install it manually...– user489056Dec 18, 2016 at 17:55 -
