• https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html

Secondly, create a new folder named "android-sdk" and place downloaded tools folder inside the android-sdk folder

Now place the "android-sdk" folder to the Home directory and show the location to the Axway Appcelerator Studio>>Preferences>>Studio>>Platforms>Android>Android SDK Home

Then click on Install SDKs>> Now select android 6.X.X, 7.X.X,8.X.X and install those packages. 

If you face any issue then try to setup android SDK via the terminal.

Clean reinstall Appcelerator Studio to the Mac.

At first, remove the Studio from Applications plus the following for a clean state


sudo rm -rf ~/.appcelerator
sudo rm -rf ~/.titanium
sudo npm uninstall -g titanium
sudo npm uninstall -g alloy
sudo npm uninstall -g acs
sudo npm uninstall -g appcelerator

Check your node version and java version then make it compatible according to the doc link


https://platform.appcelerator.com/#/product/cli
http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Installing_Oracle_JDK-section-src-29004850_InstallingOracleJDK-OSX

 Then install CLI manually via the terminal respectively


sudo npm install -g appcelerator
appc use latest
appc setup -l trace
sudo npm install -g alloy

Finally, take a fresh copy of Appcelerator Studio and install it in your machine. It will automatically install all dependencies.

Then open the studio and let me know how it goes.

Error: return binding.mkdir(pathModule._makeLong(path)

This can be happen if the username included a ~, and I think this breaks some internal code. Setup code can not handle the user's local enviroment path like that and as is obvious from the error message, it tries to create a directory called "c:\users\c:"

So create a fresh new user to you system.

Hope this helps.
