The location of the folder is located in the text box near the top that says “Android SDK Location”. By default the Android SDK location is stored at “/Users/[USER]/Library/Android/sdk” or at “/Library/Android/sdk/”.
Assuming you have macOS/OS X running, you can use Homebrew to install the Android SDK.
by default, the "Android Studio IDE" will be installed in " C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio ", and the "Android SDK" in " c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk ".
Show activity on this post. For Visual Studio for Mac users (e.g. who installed Android SDK together with VS): open Visual Studio for Mac. select from menu: Tools -> SDK Manager -> Select 3rd tab: 'Localizations' in dialog.
The easiest (and standard) way to install Android SDK under OS X is to use brew.
brew install android-sdk
If you do not have homebrew, here's how to get it.
This will install Android SDK into /usr/local/Cellar/android-sdk/ and, at this moment, this is the best location to install it.
In homebrew the android-sdk has migrated from homebrew/core to homebrew/cask.
brew tap homebrew/cask
and install android-sdk using
brew install android-sdk --cask
You will have to add the ANDROID_HOME to profile (.zshrc or .bashrc)
export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/share/android-sdk
If you prefer otherwise, copy the package to
~/opt/local/android-sdk-mac
When I installed Android Studio 1.0 it ended up in
/Library/Android/sdk/
My personal preference is to put it in ~/opt/local/android-sdk-mac or /Developer/android-sdk-mac the latter being where Xcode and all the Apple Dev tools are held.
