During the installation Android Studio will realize that your device doesn’t support it (if so) and just skip the installation of HAXM without cancelling the installation of the other components ( Screenshot). If you are unsure if your device supports HAXM, just check the box anyways. However, AMD supports another hardware acceleration platform. Since my CPU is from AMD, it obviously doesn’t support Intel HAXM. If you have an Intel CPU then please check if it supports HAXM and uncheck the box if it doesn’t. HAXM is only available on some newer Intel CPUs. Hardware acceleration is a feature that enables the Android device emulator to run faster by using your physical CPU and graphics card to power the virtual device instead of virtualizing a CPU. HAXM refers to Intel’s Hardware Acceleration Execution Manager. These contain all the code and libraries of the Android API and are mandatory for Android app development.Īdditionally, “Performance (Intel HAXM)” is already checked. The Android SDK ( Software Development Kit) and the SDK platform (which is Android Q at the time of writing) are already checked and can’t be unchecked. Then you can choose which components you want to install additionally to the barebone Android Studio. Then agree to the terms and conditions and your download starts. To do that, just visit the official download page and choose the. First, you’ll need to download Android Studio. Personally I’m running Android Studio on my desktop PC with 16GB of RAM and an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X as a processor and everything works perfectly fine.īut now let’s get started.
So I recommend you to have at least 8GB of RAM.Īdditionally it’s advantageous have an above-average CPU since you’ll be running at least three power-hungry applications at any given time: Android Studio (for coding), Android emulator (for testing) and your browser for looking things up. The official system requirements state a minimum of 4GB of RAM, but I have used Android Studio on a machine with 6GB and it definitely wasn’t a pleasure. In this tutorial I will walk you through the installation process.īefore we start it is worth mentioning, that Android Studio is quite power-hungry. Every Android developer’s career starts with the installation of Android Studio which is the software that you use to write, compile and test your apps.
