I'm using Apple Mac OS X El Capitan and while trying to install Android Studio 2.0, I encounter following error:

Unable to create a virtual device: Missing system image required for an AVD setup

Unfortunately while Android Studio Setup tried to Creating Android virtual device, it failed and without ability to retry(

How do I complete failed step outside of that Android Studio Setup Wizard?

Make sure VT-x is enabled in your UEFI/BIOS.

On Linux, you can check if it's enabled by:

sudo modprobe msr
sudo rdmsr 0x3a

If it doesn't print 3 or 5, VT-x is disabled, and emulation won't work. You will need to reboot and change the BIOS setting. The exact procedure depends on your hardware.

On OS X, you can check if the CPU supports VT-x using the following command:

sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features

If the output contains VMX the CPU supports VT-x, but it could still be disabled. You might need an EFI firmware update. Disclaimer: I don't actually have a Mac to test.

  • as I mention in my question, I'm using `OS X`, so _NO_ BIOS, nor Linux applies here... – alexus Sep 09 '16 at 19:53
  • Sorry, this is what worked for me. For OS X, it seems VT-x [should be enabled by updates](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203296). Maybe you have a different problem. – tprk77 Sep 09 '16 at 20:24
