Where is the emulator images?

In advance, i did the full fresh Android Studio installation as well, and during initial configuration it was not able to install emulator images too and interrupted with an error The following SDK component was not installed: sys-img-x86-addon-google_apis-google-23

How to setup most recent development environment to be able to build and run/debug applications in emulator?

Update: Read this answer, perhaps your SDK is incorrectly configured. Mine looks like this:

Press Ctrl+H to see hidden folders and files on Linux, the location is:

/home/YOUR_USER/.android/sites-settings.cfg

Previous response: Use the extended option to see the new names:

./android --verbose --clear-cache list sdk -a -e |more

You can also launch the android sdk manager and select the packages to be installed:

./android update sdk

According to Android Developers Blog post about Android 2.0 release

Android Emulator - The new emulator ... Like a physical device, the official Android emulator also includes Google Play Services built-in, so you can test out more API functionality...

Trying out the new emulator is as easy as updating your SDK Tools to 25.1.1 or higher, create a fresh Android Virtual Device using one of the recommended x86 system images and you are ready to go. Learn more about the Android Emulator by checking out the documentation.

You can use Android Studio or execute a command like this:

./android create avd --force -n test -t android-23 -g google_apis

Now it works fine. I didn't try to change anything, it just starts to work after a while. It looks like something was broken on google side during to AS 2.0 transition. — Alexei Volkov, Apr 12 '16 at 06:11
