For this task, I recommend using Android Studio IDE and choose the automatic installation program, and not the compressed file.
- On the top menu, select Help -> Check for Update…
- Upon the updates dialog below, select Updates link to configure your IDE settings.
- For checking updates, my suggestion is to select the Dev channel. I
don’t recommend Beta or Canary
channel which is the unstable version and they are not automatic installation, instead a zip file is provided in that case.
- When finished with the configuration, select Update and Restart for downloading the installation EXE.
- Run the installation.
Warning: Among different version of Android Studio, the steps may be different. But hopefully you get the idea, as I try to be clear on my intentions.
Extra info: If you want, check for Android Studio updates @ Android Tools Project Site – Recent Builds. This web page seems to be more accurate than other Android pages about tool updates.
