Today, I have been setting up my workspaces in the CIRDLES Lab. I've been trying to install Android Studio on two machines, but one gave me the biggest issues. It was saying that my login didn't have permissions nor space to download Android Studio (an IDE for Android development). After trying to work with this machine for three days (it had crashed the first day) I can finally say that it now works. I ended up having to delete my login account and create another one.
Another problem I encountered downloading Android Studio yesterday was that it was saying that there was no JVM found, which I had no idea what it was talking about. I figured that it meant that my version of Java was out of date, but when I opened the terminal and entered the javac -version command, it said I had the correct version. So of course I hit stack overflow, checked out links related to the problem and users were saying that I had to go into the package contents of the program and edit a text document called Info.plist, but on further inspection I found that it might end up breaking my IDE and cause issues with updates. I'm not sure how I found the solution, but Apple support recommended installing another Java program. It worked and now I got it to download!
I find it funny that I was having problems with the JVM message yesterday because in my java class this morning the professor went on about Java Virtual Machines and why they were important and more about IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) and JREs (Java Runtime Environment). It's just really awesome to see how all of this is connecting because I was using all of these thing last semester when I was taking Android App and Development, but I didn't really know the connections. I feel like I will learn a lot from my professor this semester in CSCI 221.
