I've been trying to get Android Studio's virtual devices to work on my Mac, which is on High Sierra, Intel Haxm doesn't seem to be released for OSX 10.13, however I've installed it using guides I found on StackOverflow. But still I'm getting "/dev/kvm is not found".
Is there something I'm missing?

Reboot to BIOS and enable VT or Virtualization Technology.

I have tried to install the emulator from the Intel Emulator for Windows via SDK tools but it gives me an error all the time. I have an AMD processor which has no virtualization so how can I make the emulator show in my Android studio?
Many thanks!
You should activate virtualization in your windows. See here for more details: https://support.bluestacks.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003174386-How-can-I-enable-virtualization-VT-on-my-PC-
I have a very weird and incomprehensible issue with my android studio. I used to work with Android studio on my windows computer just fine, studio, AVD all were working just fine. A few days ago I had to install kali on a virtual machine on my that windows computer. Since then my android studio started weird behave. When I wanted to run AVD an error comes and say
Enable VT-x in your BIOS security settings, ensure that your Linux
distro has working KVM module.
but this is a windows 10 machine. After installing (again) HAXM error is gone however still I cannot open my AVD or in SDK manager I cannot click on Tools or any other option. I reinstalled Studio at least 10 times, but problems insist.
My computer runs on intel core i-7 with 16 GB memory as well as Intel HD 520 and NVIDIA Geforce 940M with 2 GB memory.
I tried all the options I can find in the internet nothing solved anything.
Thanks in advance.
Make sure, You've enabled VT-x in your BIOS configuration of your PC.
If it's not then follow
Restart system
Keep pressing esc key while starting to enter the recovery mode
Choose BIOS Option
Search for the VT-x or Virtual Technology, It'll be in security or Advance tab based on the system config
enable that.
Then try AVD in android studio. In my case it resolved my problem.
Sorry for this title but I'm just so mad because not any of the emulators seem to be working for me. Here are the reasons:
Built-in Android Emulator - too slow, it won't even deploy the application, stuck at Starting emulator ..., mostly gets the error Emulator cannot be started with VS (unknown provider)
Genymotion - i thought this is my hope but the virtualbox for some reason gives me Blue Screen of Death hence not being able to use this really good, best recommended emulator
BSOD Technical Information: STOP: 0x0000003B (0x00000000c0000005, 0xFFFFF880010C9710, 0xFFFFF8800DFB8690, 0000000000000000)
XAP or Xamarin Android Player - uses VirtualBox as well, won't let me run the emulator, a dialog box appears saying Failed to start the virtual machine. This indicates you have just installed virtualbox and need to reboot your computer. Rebooted/restarted the computer a thousand times, same error.
This is too much pain for me as I'm still a beginner in Android Development but seems like it hates me so much.

Btw, I'm working my Android app in Xamarin Visual Studio 2015.
Let me know if I missed any specific details.
Install Intel hardware accelerator manager (HAXM).
It can be downloaded using the android sdk manager. Once downloaded you have to run the installer manually. The installer is located in you android sdk folder, in /extra/Intel subfolder.
After it is installed, any android simulator using an x86 image will run full speed.
Also make sure HyperV is deactivated, and that virtualization is enable in the machine's bios.
Well, first it will be better to check out if all Android SDK packages were properly installed. To do that locate on your computer a software called "Android SDK Manager" and run it. It will shows the status of several different packages.
Check if you already have installed:
1) Android SDK Tools 24.4.1 and 24
2) Android N (API 21)
3) Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)
If you don't have installed, then do it selecting them and clicking on "install packages" button.
Restart Visual Studio and try to run a simple/demo app.
I am using Dell Inspiron 5521R system to install android development studio. I am getting an error "VT-x is not enabled" while during haxm installation. I checked in bios, there is VT-X option is not showing. Only virtualization option is there and it is enabled already. I also checked Hyper-V option in control panel and this one is also unchecked. but the problem is same as earlier.
I'm assuming you want this for the Android emulator to work properly.
Not really a solution as I tried a many things myself, but an alternative to the Android emulator is Genymotion. It worked for me where I never got Hyper-V to work.
I suggest Genymotion, it is faster, smoother than default Android Studio Emulators
Install Genymotion
Install Genymotion Plugin For Android Studio
Run Genymotion & click Red Button in the Android Studio (Which will appear after you install Genymotion Plugin for Android Studio)
Enjoy Developing
I am trying to install android studio. I have java as the below command output shows.
java version "1.8.0_51"
However when I install it right at the end of the installation the following error appears.
Failed to install Intel HAXM. For details please check the installation log: "C:\Users\Henny\AppData\Local\Temp\nsvBCFE.tmp\haxm_silent_run.log"
Does anyone know whats wrong?
Do you know how to turn on "Intel Virtualization Technology"
Your CPU has to support it first. If it is not available, then you are out of luck. If you got Intel VT, then you shall find the option to turn it on/off in your computer BIOS.
But if you want HAXM for emulator, just go for Genymotion which is VirtualBox based and much faster than stock emulator.
