I'm trying to install the latest Android Studio on a MacBook pro 2015
Unfortunately I get this error:
An error occurred while trying to compute required packages.
Here a screenshot of the error:
which is not very informative. What's causing the problem?
EDIT
This is the exception I get when I run the application from the terminal:

EDIT
Google has fixed the bug. Just download the new installer and everything should be fine
Update:
There's a manual workaround!
As per post :
- Download the command line tools, place them in the SDK folder (e.g., on mac: /Users/user/Library/Android/sdk), and then add the bin folder to the PATH.
- Install the latest platform: in a terminal, execute sdkmanager "platforms;android-25"
- Open Android Studio, and go to the SDK Manager (Appearance and Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK)
- Click on "Edit", and then select the sdk folder. Then "Next" > "Next" > "Finish".
Still, it doesn't resolve the missing emulator package therefore the Android SDK tools can't be updated since it's a dependency. But Android studio works and you can download other packages.
Looking forward to a better solution.
Update 2:
Solution to emulator package issue!
After digging in the repo's XML for a while I've spotted the issue.
It turns out that the "emulator" package is only in channel 3 (canary) while the "tools" package is in channel 0 (stable) but depends on "emulator". The solution is to force the manager to download the "emulator" package from channel 3:
./sdkmanager --channel=3 emulator
Problem solved!
Previous answer:
The same problem here.
Twitted @androidstudio too. Hopefully someone in a position to fix this will notice.
Updated: It should be fixed now.
This is -- we're working on a hotfix.
After lot of struggling I made it work. Here my solution
When I get the "An error occurred while trying to compute required packages" error I just clicked "finished" and then I went to the main Android Studio page:
Then I selected Configure -> SDK manager and I launched the SDK installation from there
Reopened Android Studio and everything was ok
Really, really embarrassing for a software which used to be very good. You can feel the "bloatness" of Eclipse creeping in
I downloaded the setup again, it's working now, I am able to install it.
Install these packages and then check it and also set JAVA_HOME for jdk.
It worked for me. For more information see this link.
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 lib32z1 libbz2-1.0:i386
This workaround worked for me:
Just download the IDE - Intellij IDEA and create a new project, select Android Project and there download Android SDK, now you can install android studio again and the sdk is installed. Worked for me!
I was getting this error on Arch Linux because the SDK setup wizard ran out of space on /tmp, which is a tmpfs.
Another question with a similar error and same possible cause: Android studio- “SDK tools directory is missing”
