I'm trying to install Android Studio on my Macbook Pro running OSX Yosemite. Every time I try to open the Android Studio application, I get an error that says:

Java not found

Android Studio was unable to find a valid JVM.

I know that I have Java installed, and when I go into Terminal and do java -version, I get:

java version "1.8.0_20"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_20-b26)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.20-b23, mixed mode)

How can I address this?

It seems to me that you have only installed a JRE. In order to run Android Studio needs Java SE Development Kit.

You can get it here.

On a windows machine this occurs when the PATH in your system variables have the wrong reference. I had this error because I referenced a Java 32 bit version on a 64 bit computer.

I think it will help to change this. But i dont know how on a mac.
