Treehouse TeacherSorry for the delay! I'm working on that as well. You need to install the Java JDK and then Android Studio.
I installed Java using sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk in Terminal. (Do that first so that Android Studio can detect and use the Java installation.) Then I unzipped Android Studio and ran ./studio.sh from the bin directory. I added the Linux download links for Android Studio to Teacher's Notes on both the Mac and Windows pages, or grab it from http://developer.android.com/sdk
Hope this helps. I'll get a video up as soon as possible, but it may be a little while to get it recorded and produced.

Treehouse TeacherI updated the Teacher's Notes with instructions on how to use the official Java SDK from Oracle, and I repackaged Android Studio with the SDK and AVD you need for this course. Hope you are able to get it working!
