created issue #1

Dec 15, 2014 04:21PM

The build tools appear to be shipped as 32-bit Linux binaries. 64-bit Linux distros do not necessarily ship the required bits anymore to run 32-bit Linux binaries. Ideally:

1. The documentation should be updated to explain a bit more about what "64-bit distribution capable of running 32-bit applications" means, including perhaps suggested packages for common Linux distros.

2. Android Studio should check, as part of setup, whether it is capable of running the 32-bit build tools and provide some guidance, rather than just throwing up errors when trying to use tools like adb and aapt

FWIW, on Ubuntu 14.10, this set of additional packages worked:

sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32stdc++6

Assigned to jo...@android.com.

We used to have a page that covered 1 & 2 but it looks like it's gone. I've filed an internal bug to track this.

xa...@android.com <xa...@android.com> #3Dec 16, 2014 12:06AM

We should handle #3 for 1.1

On Debian Jessie I get:
E: Package 'lib32bz2-1.0' has no installation candidate

anyone know the correct package for me?

sa...@google.com <sa...@google.com> #12Mar 18, 2015 05:34PM

Edit: for some reason all I had to do was chmod +x $ANDROID_SDK_HOME/tools/mksdcard ... even though mksdcard was already executable.

ma...@gmail.com <ma...@gmail.com> #13Mar 22, 2015 09:24PM

r....@gmail.com <r....@gmail.com> #18Apr 2, 2015 01:59PM

I can install neither the lib32z1 nor the lib32bz2-1.0 package. It says it cannot find the package.
I habe an arm core so I am not sure if I have 64 or 32 bit. But I still cannot install android-studio due to mksdcard.

Any help?

ro...@gmail.com <ro...@gmail.com> #19Apr 30, 2015 05:08AM

I don't know what version of Linux version you are running, but assuming it maybe some flavor of Ubuntu, lib32bz2-1.0 is not available on 15.04 (

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&keywords=lib32bz2&searchon=names), yet lib32bz is. I'm running Kubuntu 15.04 and was able to install all the suggested packages except lib32bz2-1.0 and the installation ran smoothly...

LE: Managed to install everything without the package lib32bz2-1.0 which btw is available only for 32bit runtime (and I have x86_64).
Good luck and happy coding!

gd...@gmail.com <gd...@gmail.com> #24Aug 5, 2015 05:25PM

on Debian 8 -- and probably derivatives -- the packages are libbz2-1.0, lib32z1, lib32ncurses5, and lib32stdc++6.

ra...@gmail.com <ra...@gmail.com> #25Sep 5, 2015 09:03AM

In 14.04 Ubuntu LTS X86_64 bit,sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6 alone,resolves the "Unable to run mksdcard SDK tool" issue during android studio installation.

This is also happening on Ubuntu 14.04. This is the error log:

wa...@gmail.com <wa...@gmail.com> #30Feb 28, 2016 03:25AM

Thank you! This works for Debian 8.3.

# sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6

$ uname -v
> #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u3 (2016-01-17)

I'm also running a 64-bit operating system, and downloaded `android-studio-ide-141.2456560-linux.zip` from the download page.

I feel this should be mentioned somewhere in the installation instructions, as the above packages are necessary to run the SDK setup.

mm...@commonsware.com <mm...@commonsware.com> #31Apr 27, 2016 08:53PM

Note that this is still a problem with Android Studio 2.1. It still fails with the mksdcard error, without providing any assistance.
