I get an error message when trying to start a new project from android studio

I installed java development package then unzipped the latest android studio package and opened up android studio, but when I tried to start a new project, I got this error message, what should I do next?

"Your Android SDK is missing, out of date, or is missing templates. You can configure your SDK via Configure | Project Defaults | Project Structure | SDKs"
