Android studio is installed however I'm unable to locate or open it

I have installed android studio using the instructions on the following site:

Android studio for ubuntu

Now once the install was complete I can see it was successful from the following:

However, no matter what I try I simply cannot find nor open it.

I've attempted:

android-studio
android

Ive tried searching for it on my computer but without results.

Has anyone ever tried the same and know what is going on?


  1. Check in the /opt folder if you have the directory android-studio.

    On terminal:

      cd /opt
      ls
    
  2. If you find the directory android-studio, change the directory to cd /android-studio/bin

  3. You will find various files there. Run the studio.sh file

      sh studio.sh
    
  4. You will get the installation wizard.

    Edit:

  5. To open android studio, locate the path where Android Studio is installed. Use

    cd ~/installed-path/android-studio/bin
    

    Open studio with the command

    ./studio.sh
    

Look in /usr/local/.

That's where my Android Studio was residing, /usr/local/android-studio.


On the guide you've linked to it claims that android-studio will be installed at /opt/android-studio, try typing the following into a terminal to check whether it's there:

ls -lh /opt/

Or otherwise use your file manager GUI to have a look.
