- cd Downloads
If you type the ls command you should find the Android-studio tarball there, the next thing we’re going to do is to move the tarball to the /opt directory, you can do that with the command:
- mv android-studio-2021.2.1.16-linux.tar.gz /opt
After moving the tar file to the /opt directory you’re going to navigate to the directory with the command: cd /opt
Now to extract the file you can simply use the command:
- tar -xf android-studio-2021.2.1.16-linux.tar.gz
After the extraction has been completed successfully, then you can go ahead and delete the original tarball file with the command

Step five: create a shortcut command for Android-studio
After Android-studio tarball has been successfully extracted, the next thing we’re going to do is create a shortcut command for android studio so that we can easily access the studio application from any part of the terminal by using a simple command, so let’s navigate to the android studio bin from the /opt directory by using the command cd android-studio/bin
In the bin directory we’re going to create an Android-studio shortcut by using the command:
- echo “bash /opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh” >> /bin/android-studio
now we give storage access to the newly created shortcut by using the command :
- chmod +x /bin/android-studio
