Installation of the flutter framework.

Android Studio

The RAM requirements for Linux.

Studio: 8 GB
Studio & Emulator: 16GB

If you're running 64-bit you need to install some 32-bit libraries.

bzip2
ncurses
zlib

bash-5.1$ grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 3913176 kB
bash-5.1$ free -h | awk -v OFS='\t' 'NR==3{print $1, $2}'
Swap:   8.0Gi
bash-5.1$

The hardware limitations do not allocate for installing the emulator.

I haven't installed the 32-bit libraries as it's unclear if they're only used for multilib app builds.

Here's how to install Google Chrome on Slackware.
