Ubuntu 16.04 ubuntu-make android error: a default framework for category Android was requested where there is none [duplicate]

I try to install Android Studio 2.0 in Ubuntu 16.04 using ubuntu-make as described in the wiki manual and the video.

fieldmarshal@fmcomp:~$ umake android
ERROR: A default framework for category Android was requested where there is none
usage: umake android [-h] {android-ndk} ...

Another way of input didn't help either:

fieldmarshal@fmcomp:~$ umake android android-studio
usage: umake android [-h] {android-ndk} ...
umake android: error: argument framework: invalid choice: 'android-studio' (choose from 'android-ndk')

Although other IDEs are installed normally, e.g. when I run: umake ide idea, everything is okay.

But I keep getting these errors when I try to install Android Studio.

Solution 1:

I found a solution in another askubuntu thread: Why can't I get Android Studio from umake anymore?

The following, taken from above link, worked for me, even though I am using Linux Mint:

You need to have the latest Version of umake, which is 17.03 as of the time of writing. Mine was old, so I replaced it.

umake --version

Don't install umake from the standard ubuntu repositories, instead add ubuntu-desktop repository to get latest umake version. Add repository by

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-make

Update software Source

sudo apt-get update

Now install/upgrade umake

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-make

Now install Android Studio by

sudo umake android
