I also had issues with OS X Yosemite on a fresh install of Android Studio.

My situation was that I was using a VPN. In the preferences, I ended up setting the HTTP Proxy setting to detect automatically after trying running it as sudo and setting a static proxy setting, but neither worked. I was able to download successfully after that. Hope this helps someone with a similar situation (VPN).

On OSX  Yosemite   I was having the same issue   After trying several of the other answers  I changed the install directory files to be owned by me   cd  Applications android-sdk-mac x86 chown -R     Where  is my user account  The problem I had with doing the root install is that some files were ending up in the root account home directory and others in mine once I started using Android Studio

This answer is for OSX  I needed to resolve two things to successfully install android studio    Ensure you aren t using proxy that is stopping you from accessing the android resources  If you are using a corporate proxy  ensure that you have the settings setup up in Android Studio   Preferences   Filter for Proxy  If you don t see the Licence Agreement  Agree Disagree  then your connection is not reaching the google download servers Run rm -rf    android  This was essential in getting this working for me  A previous install or something else had affected this download caches  Best to nuke it and start fresh

quot The following SDK components were not installed  sys-img-x86-addon-google apis-google-22 and addon-google apis-google-22 quot    I would suggest just close the window instead of clicking Finish and select not to run the setup wizard

User · Answer

Please do not run Desktop Applications as root  This is a dangerous habit   I was able to resolve this problem by closing the window with the  X  at the top right  It asked me whether to run the setup wizard the next time too  which you do not want  Then android studio started normally  After that start the android SDK manager and click install on the bottom right   Hope it helps

A little late but I was having this problem too and running studio as root just created more problems  using OSX here    I fixed it by manually installing what was failing to install using the Android SDK manager   Just run android sdk in a terminal  probably the same on Windows but don t quote me    Let it install all the updates it wants  then if you can t make it through the setup  manually find the packages that are failing to install and install them   Got me through a very frustrating problem and back to work

I encountered the same problem attempting to setup Android Studio from work  Running as admin didn t solve my problem  and I don t have direct access to proxy   firewall settings  In the end I resolved the issue by using the Android SDK Manager and installing the proper packages  A few of the package names and error messages  from studio install failure  didn t match up directly but a quick Google search showed me the light   Hope this helps

If are you using Linux  I noticed that the Android Studio cannot be run with JDK 8  You have to download open Jdk 7 and press alt   shift   t and type   sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre    When u have downloaded jdk 7 go to terminal then go to  android-studio bin  then type   sudo sh   studio sh

Update latest android sdk tools from sdk manager and removing proxy that I did input for connecting Android studio with vpn worked for me

User · Answer

A possible solution would be to check your proxy settings  under Windows 7 you can find those settings in the other xml file present under the path C  Users YourUsername   AndroidStudio config options   Note that if you turn both options  USE HTTP PROXY  and  USE PROXY PAC  to true the error keep coming but a pop-up should come out noticing the problem of a double configuration and prompting a resolution with a input window for those settings   UPDATE - Possible solution  I ve just managed to complete the wizard at home  maybe the proxy is not the real problem  as the last comment of  meanderingmoose pointed out   It seems there is a problem with the default installer of Android Studio 1 0 0  the one that contain both the IDE and di SDK Tools  the default installation path for the android sdk tools ends with myInstallPath   sdk android-sdk but the first run setting for the Android Studio points at   myInstallPath   sdk  So here is what i did    Cut  amp  Paste the content of the android-sdk folder outside the folder  so the files are under   myInstallPath   sdk  Use SDK Manager from the new location to update everything  Use this instead of the automatic wizard  you can select which package you want or need and you get also the speed and estimate time for the download  Run Android Studio  it should load and check that the SDK is up to date and start the creation of an AVD  after that the IDE will load completely    UPDATE - Workaround for the  download interrupted  read timed out  problem  The firewall and the proxy prevented my SDK Manager to download some updates  so i ve recovered the  xml url for these updates  searched for the  zip files i needed and directly downloaded them with the help of a download manager  then i ve manually installed them in their relative folder under the sdk folder   a bit tricky but worked for me  For example in the  Addon xml file i ve searched for the m2repository  found the entry and downloaded the archive with the link  m2repository r14 zip file  You always find the files you need in the same base as the  xml file  take a look at the url i ve posted for the example
