Answer 1

I had similar problem with update my Android Studio.

Download archive from: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/studio/ide-zips/2.2.0.12/android-studio-ide-145.3276617-linux.zip and unpack.

Delete the previous one and paste the new one. If you're have it on opt directory you would need to use sudo privileges to delete it.

Open Android Studio using ./bin/studio.sh

Hope this helps.

I sorted it out by changing the folder permission of

/android-studio

Answer 4

I just had this problem. I fixed it by granting write/read permissions from the android studio directory to my user, writing this on my terminal:

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/android-studio

After that I launched android studio from desktop entry (I don't think this really matters) and update worked fine.
