First-run setup

Start Android Studio with android-studio-portable.exe. In the setup wizard, choose Custom and set the Android SDK location to the data\sdk directory inside the portable installation. The wizard’s Standard setup can choose %LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk even when the portable launcher sets ANDROID_HOME.

If you already installed the SDK outside the portable installation, copy it to data\sdk and select that location in Android Studio’s SDK Manager. Projects are saved wherever you choose when creating them.

Configuring JVM options

You can control Android Studio JVM options in data\studio.vmoptions file. If this file does not exist, it will be created at first launch.
