The download page for Android Studio does not list any repositories, it only offers direct download links. I noticed that there are many Android SDK and tools packages in the Ubuntu repos, but no Android Studio. Is there a frequently updated repository or PPA available for Android Studio?

This question was asked a long time ago back when Android Studio was still in a preview state, however, the answers are all very different and many of the answers consist of custom PPAs, many of which probably do not exist anymore for modern versions of Ubuntu. Therefore, this question needs to be re-asked so that we can collect updated instructions.

If you're looking for up to date PPA for Android Studio, it is ppa:maarten-fonville/android-studio— at the time of writing this PPA has supported Ubuntu version up to 19.04 which is current latest release.

Add the PPA.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-fonville/android-studio
sudo apt-get update

Then, you can either install:

  • Stable version.

    sudo apt-get install android-studio

  • Preview version.

    sudo apt-get install android-studio-preview

  • This automatically downloads the android-studio-ide-…-linux.tar.gz file offered on the download page for Android Studio and installs it together with dependencies. Helps to keep it up to date automatically, but it's of course not the best way to build a .deb. It could be much smaller than 760 MiB by depending on other packages.

no need for adding an external repository, android-sdk includes Android Studio!
