INSTRUCTOR NOTE:

If you're installing a recent version of Android Studio (from around April/May/June 2015) on a Mac, a standard installation might fail with a bunch of errors. If that happens, try doing a "Custom Setup" instead. Just keep clicking "Next" through all of the custom options (there's nothing you actually need to change) and let it install. If using a custom install doesn't fix your issue, keep troubleshooting and look through discussion posts!
