Ok got it. Thanks

You need to skip the update. Slackware is not designed to allow apps to update themselves (although, application permissions can be modified to allow it, but it is not a good idea from a security standpoint). If you'd like the program updated, it'd be best to try to update the SlackBuild for a newer version or contact the maintainer of the SlackBuild to see if they're willing/able to do it.

Wasn't sure because I know it is unusual to update apps in slackware. lol
So I skipped it then accepted the standard install, once that was done, again it requested update permission... by choosing standard setup first the /home/user/Android/ was created after which I accepted the updates it no longer complained about the permissions. Folders were created in my /home/user/ & populated. It also suggested I setup KVM to improve & speedup the emulator... this is all totally new to me. Just going to read some tutorials & watch others. I'm interested in OnePlusX ROM & Gello Browser. LOL Now we do have a setup guide for Android Studio on Slackware64-14.1 thnxs for guiding me bassmadrigal

Congrats on getting it up and running. I'm glad I could help
