Could not run Android Studio on my Mac OS Yosemite. Error: The following SDK component was not installed: sys-img-x86-addon-google_apis-google-21

Question

I could not run Android Studio on my Mac OS Yosemite. The installation wizard pops up and finishes the setup with the screen saying error :

Error: The following SDK component was not installed: 
sys-img-x86-addon-google_apis-google-21.

I checked the following question, Android Studio doesn't start, fails saying components not installed. Don't know how to get that to Mac

Answer 1

Try this that is suggested in the link you mention:

Open the terminal and execute these 2 commands:

cd /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/
sudo ./studio

It seems that you need to run it as administrator the first time you launch it. I haven't tried that but looks promising.
