Android Studio Update

To sound like more of a complete moron, I saw that there is an update to Android Studio, so I downloaded it. Which button(s) do I push (in which folders) to actually install it?

Thanks, but it isn't obvious. I get to the android studio folder - then which? Bin, gradle, lib, license folder? Then which one?

If you are already using Android Studio, you can update via the built in Update mechanism (Check For Updates).

If you downloaded the update in your web browser, go to your downloads (CTRL + J) and find the setup.exe or install.exe (or whatever it's called, I don't remember)

Hope it helped!

Thanks, but it isn't obvious. I get to the android studio folder - then which? Bin, gradle, lib, license folder? Then which one? I tried doing a search for "install" and 'setup" but got nowhere. Now I see why they pay IT guys so much.

Don't worry about it! Everyone has to start somehwere!

If you downloaded the update through android studio, I think you're good to go! However if you want to be 100% sure you can watch this setup tutorial on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEsDwzjPJ5c

Hope it worked! Don't hesitate if you've got further questions! The community is here to help! :D

Thanks again Stanislaw, but that video only shows how to install the original. I need to know which sub-folder I find the install or setup file in. I guess I have a lot bigger problems than getting the latest update to install. Argh.
