How to install and launch an Android emulator without installing Android Studio itself? Normally, you need to install Android Studio, in order to make an Android Emulator running, but with a low RAM computer/laptop or a React Native developer, installing Android Studio isn't necessary.
If you are trying to develop to Android, you probably will end up installing the Android Studio to get the Android SDK and the AVD Emulator working properly.
But if you are using another code editor, like Sublime Text or VSCode, installing the Android Studio will just mess up with your setup and consume your precious RAM for no good reason.
I had a hard time figuring out how to properly do this setup due to the lack of documentation about it, so I hope this video helps you.
This video will guide you step by step to install an Android Emulator (without download/install Android Studio)
