1. Extract the File
   Assume the file android-studio-2024.2.1.12-linux.tar.gz is in your ~/Downloads directory. Run:
   sudo mkdir -p /opt/android-studio
   sudo tar -xvf ~/Downloads/android-studio-2024.2.1.12-linux.tar.gz -C /opt/android-studio --strip-components=1
   This extracts the contents to /opt/android-studio, making it accessible for all users.

2. Set Up a Symbolic Link
   Create a symbolic link to the studio.sh script so all users can launch Android Studio from the terminal:

sudo ln -s /opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh /usr/local/bin/android-studio

3. Create a Desktop Entry
   To make Android Studio available in the application menu, create a .desktop file:

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/android-studio.desktop

Add the following content:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Android Studio
Exec=/opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
Icon=/opt/android-studio/bin/studio.svg
Categories=Development;IDE;

Save the file and exit (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X).
