I installed Android Studio and fired up the default emulator (Nexus 5 API 23), but got the following error message:

emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable. CPU acceleration status: HAXM must be updated (version 1.1.5 < 6.0.1).

It seems that a lot of people already encountered this issue and the solution would be to install Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator, but in my case, it is already installed.

Another thing I read is:

After you download it and make sure you run the setup located in: {SDK_FOLDER}\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm.exe

I'm on a 2015 retina Macbook though, so this is not an option. Also when creating a new Virtual Device, the error message remains the same.

What can I do to get a working emulator?

Thanks in advance!

You should mount and run the IntelHAXM_1.1.4.dmg file located in {SDK_FOLDER}\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

Actually problem is that HAXM is downloaded but not installed. So you should run executable file and install new version of HAXM.

HAXM path: {SDK_FOLDER}\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager
