flutter doctor Unable to determine Android Studio version

Question

I installed Flutter on Linux Mint. Also, I installed Android Studio, but when I run flutter doctor -v in the CLI, it gives me the error:

type here[!] Android Studio (version unknown)
    • Android Studio at /opt/android-studio
    • Flutter plugin can be installed from:

I had the same problem.

As you can see flutter doctor -v is finding two copies of android studio.

The first one it has a version number so all is good. The second one is in the opt/ directory which is actually just containg a link to android studio. Your just going to want to delete this link.

You can do this by cd ../../opt and then your in the opt directory.

Now run sudo rm -r android-studio to remove the link

Then cd ../home/yourusername to navigate back

Then flutter doctor -v and you should have no issues
