- I am using Fedora Linux, but the procedure should not vary wildly. You will see
- that it is very easy to get started.
- 1. Download from https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html (1,1 GB)
- 2. Unpack (e. g. `sudo tar xzvf android-studio-ide-*-linux.tar.gz -C /opt`)
- 3. Start (for me `/opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh`)
- This is everything there is needed. Current Android Studio (since v3) supports
- Kotlin and it is even pre-selected! Let's clone into an easy Kotlin project and
- compile it. There is a bunch of Kotlin projects on Github alone[3]. From the
- first page we randomly open actorapp/actor-bots, copy the git-URI from there:
- https://github.com/actorapp/actor-bots.git
- In Android Studio select File/New/Project from Version Control/Git and paste in
- the link. Building should start instantly after the project has been cloned.
