At 1:04 of the Creating the Fun Facts Project video, I keep getting the following error messages in the Downloading Components part of Android Studio Setup Wizard screen.
Ignoring unknown package filter 'sys-img-x86-addon-google_apis-google-23'Warning: The package filter removed all packages. There is nothing to install.
Please consider trying to update again without a package filter.

and when I clicked Finish and tried to select Start a new Android Studio project from the top of the list, I got the following message:
SDK problem
Your Android SDK is missing, out of date, or is missing templates.
You can configure your SDK via Configure |
Project Defaults | Project Structure | SDKs
making it impossible to follow along with using the Android Studio to build the app. Also, I have reinstalled many times but end up with the same errors.
Can someone help figure out what is causing this problem and how to fix it?
Another thing, while installing at the beginning, I noticed that my list of components to be installed was missing an item about Google APIs when compared to the Installation Guides in the teacher's note. Could that be the cause of the problem? And if so, how do I fix it?
Thanks.

Courses Plus Student 18,036 PointsIt works now. So, what I did was, quit the Android Studio. Moved the program to the Trash and uninstalled it completely via the Terminal, using the following commands:
rm -Rf /Applications/Android\ Studio.app
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio*
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.android.studio.plist
rm -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/.android
rm -Rf ~/Library/Android*
Then after that, I re-installed the Android Studio using the second Mac link in the teacher's notes.
Note - I used the second link so that I can have the exact same outcome as the teacher's in the video, with the goal of updating the Android Studio later
