How to update Android Studio without a fresh install in Ubuntu 14.04?

Question

Android

I want to update Android Studio from 1.5 to 2.1, I'm used to the fact that in Windows you just click update and restart and it automatically updates. In my case, when you click the download button, it leads to a page where you need to download the image and manually install it. Is there some easier way to update, perhaps through the console?

Answer 1

The console won't help you here. Some Android Studio updates are not delivered through the patch mechanism and you must download the entire new version. How googlers decide whether it will be possible to update with a patch, or whether the new version requires a full download - I do not know.

Answer 2

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get autoremove
