Umake: error: argument category: invalid choice: 'android-studio' (choose from 'ide', 'go', 'games', 'scala', 'dart', 'rust', 'web', 'swift', 'nodejs', 'android')Īll i can figure is that either i’ve demonstrated a need for remedial reading (again, which is likely), or some dependency is missing, or who-knows-what. Umake seems to have installed, but although the manpage says android-studio is the default for android, “umake android” causes: > umake androidĮRROR: A default framework for category Android was requested where there is none (Note that once you’ve installed ubuntu-make the command to find out how to use it seems to be “man umake”.) I used to like Google more before reading that part, but sometimes it’s good to know more about what they want to achieve.

Once you get it installed, i suggest that you read Google’s documentation relating to how to “capture” customers and hold them captive. I’ll be installing Android Studio again, but haven’t yet, by the time i get around to that point of development who knows what version of linux or Android Studio will be current.

Their installation instructions are kind of limp, installilng it is a PITA, basically, but it can eventually be accomplished.

If you have not chosen “SDK Tools” or something like that, then it doesn’t install them and you’ll get the message you got. There’s a checkbox somewhere, a list of checkboxes that let you choose what parts of Android Studio you want.

Important thing imo is that Android Studio does work under linux, there was nothing specific to distro in the install process, and i installed the whole thing outside of the root partition (though not in /home). But i do remember that you need the SDK tools. Then i never got around to doing anything much with it. I set up Android Studio a year or two back, under debian-jessie (or maybe it was wheezy).

Install android studio on ubuntu
