I dont have enough free space on my ubuntu partition(200MB free space to be precise) and but I want to install Android studio and powershell. I have 7-8GB free space on my other three partitions.How do I do it?
I know that ubuntu saves installed files in a tree-like format and saves everything in the same place so that duplication is avoided. But is there any way i could install those softwares in a different partition?
1 ) go here
https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
and download the Android Studio in a tar.gz
2) go to terminal and type
cd ~/Downloads
3) move it to the other partition destination. Suposse your partition with freespace is /home
sudo mv android-studio.tar.gz /home
4) extract the file with the command
tar -zxvf android-studio.tar.gz (use the correct name)
5) In order to have this available from other locations create a launcher for the Android Studio, look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles
I hope this can help you!
Comment if you have any trouble :)
