    That is not how you install android-studio. Please follow this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/634082/android-studio-installation-on-14-04 – Raphael Dec 27 '15 at 15:05

APT-GET can't see any program to install when it isn't in repositories base.

You've forgotten the first and second line ;-)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paolorotolo/android-studio
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-studio

Hope it help

Unless it's the newest version of Ubuntu, which I believe is currently 20.04, or uses Snap as the software handler... Then it has to be;

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paolorotolo/android-studio
sudo apt-get update
sudo snap install android-studio --classic

Hope this assists anybody who ends up requiring my small bit of input.

    Ubuntu supports both deb packages and snap packages. deb packages are generally handled by APT(frontend) or DPKG(backend). PPAs are for APT not Snaps. There's no PPA concept for snaps as of now. – Kulfy Aug 30 '20 at 17:16
  • Yes, but I literally have tried each and every one of the other methods of installation, and had problems until I tried my method. I'll post screenshots of my terminal if need be... I'm not proving anyone's input on the matter wrong, just adding to the fact that with this newest distro update, I've been experiencing some very odd methods, that I hadn't dealt with in previous versions is all. – DjinnArt Aug 30 '20 at 17:23
  • Try removing PPA using sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:paolorotolo/android-studio and retry the installation. – Kulfy Aug 30 '20 at 17:25
  • It wouldn't even install it without the repo though is what I'm getting at. Prior, it scanned through all of the repos I have already installed and said it didn't have the correct pubkey signature for installation. Any thoughts as to what that might be about..? – DjinnArt Aug 30 '20 at 17:31
  • Were you using snap or apt before? If you were using apt, those errors make sense but in snap, they don't. Also, absence of PUB_KEY is another issue and is related to APT. – Kulfy Aug 30 '20 at 17:32
  • I kept alternating between the two to figure out what would work. – DjinnArt Aug 30 '20 at 17:37

An easy way to install Android-Studio without any serious problems is to first install Ubuntu-make: sudo apt install umake, and then run umake android android-studio. It should install flawlessly.
