- <li>In the setup wizard, click <strong>Next</strong> a couple times to
- reach the SDK Components Setup screen. Here,
- you must set a different path for the <strong>Android SDK Location</strong>.
- It can be any directory you want, but it must not be the default path, which
- is the same directory used by your original version of Android Studio (unless
- you changed that one yourself). The SDK location for Android Studio 2.1
- must be different because the N Preview SDK packages are not compatible with
- versions of Android Studio lower than 2.1.</p>
- </li>
- <li>Continue with the setup wizard until you reach the Android Studio IDE.</li>
- <li>Open the Settings dialog
