    The install wizard recommends 500mb, however there are more requirements later in the install process. It is much easier if you have all your Android Studio parts as well as your project files on the same hard drive. I recommend having at least 2gb of free space. If you need to switch drives to accommodate this, then use the Browse.. button to browse to a suitable place on your hard drive.
