Installing Android Studio (IDE) is probably the most challenging part. It takes times – from 30 minutes to n hours to forever – depending on your luck, your programming knowledge, and your PC.
You probably need a fairly decent PC (with 8GB RAM) and 10GB of free disk space to run the Android emulator!!! Running on “actual” Android phone/tablet requires much lesser resources.
