Now we're going to actually install our workshop
which is the Android Studio program.
I suggest you watch me so that you can have a sense of what the process
looks like and then follow the text version instructions at your own pace.
Also keep in mind that these are large files.
You're going to want to have a strong and stable internet connection.
For students with slower and more unreliable Internet,
you might want to consider finding a wired Internet connection.
I've created the walk through for
how to download Android Studio on two different operating systems.
I have instructions for Windows and instructions for Mac computers.
I'll give you a moment, go ahead and click on which one applies to you.

Okay, I'm going to be installing Android Studio on a Windows machine.
Please note that this screencast was done on April 7th, 2015.
And I say that just because sometimes the screens or
the icons that you might see while installing Android Studio
could change depending on what version it is.
We're going to give you a text version to go along with the screen cast, and
since it's easier to change the text version than to
go through re-recording an entire screen cast
that will be a little bit more up to date than the screen cast will.
All right so to start off go ahead and open a web browser and
go to the Android Studio website.
It's a link to the instructor notes, you do not have to type this in.
All right, so once you've arrived at the site, you should see a big green button
that's pretty obvious, that says Download Android Studio for Windows.
So go ahead and click that.
All right, and that's going to take you to the license for Android Studio.
You're welcome to go ahead and
read that I'm going to scroll to the bottom, sign my rights away, and
then click this Download Android Studio for Windows button.
All right, we did want to download this, so we do want to keep it.
I'm going to press Keep.
Okay, and if you look right here, this is a little bit less than a gig of data.
And that's about equivalent to downloading a movie file of reasonable
quality, so
you can judge how long this will take based on your Internet connection.
Okay, once it's finished downloading, go ahead and double-click the file.
We did in fact want to run this, so click run.
Yes, we did want to allow it to make changes.
All right. And now we're at the Android Studio
set up wizard.
This is going to guide you through a collection of screens to set up
Android Studio and pretty much always we're going to just select the defaults.
All right. So, I'm going to hit next,
I want all these boxes checked.
Note that this requires 3.8 gigabytes of space and we only download about
a gigabyte, so after this, there's going to be even more downloading.
I'm going to hit Next.
So license agreement here.
You can go to read it if you'd like.
I'm going to go ahead and hit, I Agree.
Yes! I agree more.
Okay, I'm all right with all of these standard install locations.
Right, going to say next on the emulator set up, we'll talk about this later.
Sure, let's make a Start Menu folder and
I'm going to hit install which will bring me to the screen.
Okay, so this is another loading bar which might take a little bit of time.
All right, it looks like it completed.
I can go ahead and take a look at the show details and
I'm not seeing anything here about huge errors.
So that's good.
All right I'm going to go ahead and click next.
Okay, so the install looks like it finished.
I'm going to click finish.
This is the little loading screen for Android Studio when it starts up.
Okay, now this is asking if I have some settings from a previous version of
Android Studio.
And I'm pretty sure that you don't, so you probably want to hit the I don't
have a previous version of Android Studio, or
I don't want to import my settings.
Go ahead and hit okay.
And just go ahead of downloading a few more components for me.
Now once you see this screen you know that you've got Android Studio
up and running.
But the real test to see if you did everything correctly
will be if you can make your first app using it.
All right so this completes the installation video and
now you're going to do this process on your own.
All right, I'm going to download Android studio on a Mac.
Note that the screencast was study April 6, 2015.
And the reason I'm saying that is
because sometimes this process will change.
We will always provide you with text instructions for the install process.
And we will keep those instructions up to date.
So if things look a little bit different here and there don't worry,
check out the text install instructions.
All right, and with that little mini note, let's get started.
Okay so the first thing you're going to do is click the link in the instructor
note below to get to the Android Studio homepage.
Don't try typing this out, just click the link in the instructor notes.
Once you're here there's going to be a pretty obvious button that says
Download Android Studio, and it should say for Mac.
Go ahead and click it.
At this point you'll see a license agreement.
You can read it if you like and then go ahead scroll down, click that you've
read it and then click this download Android Studio from that button.
Okay, so it started downloading here for me and
you should be able to see that this download is a couple hundred megabytes.
Once it's downloaded go ahead and double-click it.
You should see this big beautiful screen that says Android Studio.
And, as with most applications, you're going to go ahead and
click Android Studio and
drag it into your Applications folder, that'll copy over.
After you've successfully done that, you can go ahead to double click
Android Studio which will try to actually open Android Studio.
You might get a warning about it being downloaded from the web but we did mean
to download this and we did mean to run it so go ahead and click open.
All right, in this little screen should appear to
load up the installation process.
Alright and here we are at the walk a wizard.
What follows is going to be a list of screens and licenses and
you pretty much just want to keep the defaults.
And click Next.
This is a screen asking me where my Java development kit is.
Now we just installed that and
it's actually making a guess about where it is.
If it isn't guessing, you can click the Detect button, and
if that isn't working, you can try navigating your file system to go
exactly to where you downloaded it.
If you're having trouble with this step It probably means that there were issues
with downloading the Java development kit, you might have downloaded the wrong
file, or just something may not be configured right.
Try going through the instructions again,
or checking out the troubleshooting documents.
Everything seems to be working here, so I'm going to go ahead and click next.
Now we're not doing anything too crazy, so
I'm going to choose a standard installation.
Here are some of the licenses that I was talking about.
Go ahead and click on the first license and say accept.
That accept all the these licenses down here.
You'll have to click on the next license set here and
also hit accept and this will let you finish the Android Studio set up wizard.
Okay, when I click finish it's actually going to download a lot of stuff and
what all of this entails is downloading a couple gigs of data, which is sort of
a huge amount of stuff to download, so be patient this might take some time.
If you see this window, go ahead and type in your password and
the candy cane stripes here mean that this is close to done.
Awesome, and once you're done, you should see this screen.
Hopefully there's a lot of positive language like successfully,
installation pass, successfully created.
If you see any errors here,
it could mean that there are errors with the installation.
But things look good, so I'm going to go ahead and click Finish.
Now, once you see this screen,
you know that you've got Android Studio up and running.
So, great job.
But the real test is going to be seeing if we did everything correctly enough
that we can create our own apps using it.
All right, so now you've watched me do the steps once.
I want you to go ahead and download Android Studio yourself.
