  • sudo apt-add-repository ppa:paolorotolo/android-studio Dec 9, 2017 at 14:42
  • You cannot use that repo because it's only for Ubuntu 16.10 and older.

Go to Download Android Studio and download the zip file, extract the files.

extract files

Then run the following commands in your terminal

$ cd android-studio-ide-171.4443003-linux

Move the android-studio folder to /opt folder.

$ sudo move android-studio /opt

If you are running a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you need to install some 32-bit libraries with the following command

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 lib32z1 libbz2-1.0:i386

Then cd into bin

cd ~/opt/android-studio/bin
./studio.sh # this will launch android studio

After launching android studio create a desktop entry by clicking Tool > Create Desktop Entry

When you launch android studio for the first time, it will download some components. enter image description here

Your repository ppa:paolorotolo/android-studio does not contain packages for Ubuntu 17.10 Artful.

Remove it with sudo ppa-purge ppa:paolorotolo/android-studio and/or sudo apt-add-repository -r ppa:paolorotolo/android-studio

then add other PPA (Ubuntu Make) and install package from it

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lyzardking/ubuntu-make
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-make
umake android

the last command will install Android Studio to your home folder with corresponding shortcuts.
