Hello Mersit,

Unfortunately, Android Studio can not be installed on a Chromebook. It can only be installed on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

There's no simple, easy way to do this. The only option I know of would require you to install a Linux distribution on the Chromebook, then install Android Studio on the new Linux partition.

I personally can't recommend that because I don't own a Chromebook and have not done this myself. If you want to read more about it check this blog post.

I hope this helps.
