Problems with installing Android Studio on Fedora Linux

Question

A few days ago I try to install the Android Studio editor on Fedora linux and I can’t.

I searched in some tutorials, websites, google and could not find a solution to deal with the error below:

ERROR: Cannot start Android Studio nno JDK found.
Please validate either STUDIO_JDK, JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME Environment variable points to Valid JDK installation.

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Open the file studio.sh and add the JAVA_HOME directly into it

UNAME=which uname

GREP=which egrep

GREP_OPTIONS=""

CUT=which cut

READLINK=which readlink

MKTEMP=which mktemp

RM=which rm

CAT=which cat

TR=which tr

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/latest

For a full assessment of your problem, here are a few things you need to check to make sure you have what it takes:

^{Instructions for Fedora Linux}

1. Check if you have the package jdk installed:

   rpm -qa | grep jdk
   

2. If it’s not installed, you’ll have to install:

   • Download the right package for your system from Oracle website

   • Switches to root

     sudo -i
     ## ou ##
     su -
     

   • Install the package you downloaded

     ## JDK 32-bit ##
     rpm -Uvh /caminho/para/binario/jdk-7u51-linux-i586.rpm
     
     ## JDK 64-bit ##
     rpm -Uvh /caminho/para/binario/jdk-7u51-linux-x64.rpm
     
     ## JRE 32-bit ##
     rpm -Uvh /caminho/para/binario/jre-7u51-linux-i586.rpm
     
     ## JRE 64-bit ##
     rpm -Uvh /caminho/para/binario/jre-7u51-linux-x64.rpm
     

3. Checks the current installation:

   java -version
   

   It must give something like:

   java version "1.7.0_51"
   Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51)
   Java Hotspot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 22.1, Mixed mode)

4. Checks which compiler:

    javac -version
   

   It must give something like:

   javac 1.7.0_51

5. Adds JAVA_HOME the environment variable:

   The most common is to edit the file .bashrc on your user directory:

   gedit ~/.bashrc
   

   And add to the end of it:

   JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-<versão>
   

   ^{Note: After this it may be necessary to re-log in for all changes to be taken over.}

Original response

Your problem usually in its most common form is a matter of permissions.

Try changing the folder permissions:

chown -R root:root /caminho/para/android-studio

Dude I broke my head but I got on Win7 that was with the same problem, computer>property_do_system>variables>de_environment> Then I had to create a new New=> variable name: JAVA_HOME variable value: C: Programdata Oracle Java javapath;C: Program Files Java jdk1.8.0_11 This "variable value" is the same as the "PATH" variable found on the same variable screen is only put into edit and copy this field. I hope in the end

Answer 4

Do the following:

1) Install JDK, Download Here

2) See the installation directory. To do this open the console and write the following command:

rpm -q -filesbypkg jdk

In my case it was /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_11/.

3) Open the file studio.sh and add the line JAVA_HOME

UNAME=which uname
GREP=which egrep
GREP_OPTIONS=""
CUT=which cut
READLINK=which readlink
MKTEMP=which mktemp
RM=which rm
CAT=which cat
TR=which tr
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/(seu directório, no meu caso jdk1.8.0_11)

4) Save the file. Done!
