The easiest way to install the Android command line tools and emulator and configure an AVD is via the Android Studio. There is also the option to just install the Android SDK or even just the SDK command line tools but there are some pitfalls, which is why we decided to focus on Android Studio.
If you have not already installed Android Studio, the following steps are necessary:
As we just want to use the Android Studio to configure our AVDs we choose »AVD Manager« from the menu in the bottom line. (Otherwise, you can find the AVD Manager in the Tools menu).

Select an appropriate virtual device. It is recommended to go for smaller screen sizes to both spare memory and allow the virtual device to fully fit on your screen.
