HAXM not a choice during Android Studio install

I downloaded the latest version and then also one version back.  

In both cases I expected there to be a place where it asks me if I want to install HAXM.   I'm not even sure what it is used for.  Maybe it is part of device emulation.

The install is not asking about HAXM.  I think it should.  

I attached a screen shot of where I thought it should be asking about HAXM.  

Is there a way to install HAXM inside of the SDK if it does not ask for it while doing the install?

Thanks,

Kevin

Looks to me like HAXM is a run-time thing (hardware acceleration) and so it doesn't belong in a design-time tool.

(The website I happened on explains how to install it in the Android Emulator... don't ask me anything more about that, it went way over my head.)

Paul,
Thank you for looking into this.    
My goal is to create a simple Android application.   Maybe just hello world.  It is for fun.  It has already been useful in real life.
I have an Android Note 20 Ultra.  The battery went bad.   I read that it will no longer be supported except for maybe security updates.
I thought that the phone will suddenly get worse and then no longer work.
I was about to purchase a low price phone  because I was thinking that I'd turn on the phone in a few weeks and nothing would work.  

After looking at the SDK I realized that the different versions of Android support certain devices.  The most current version says it works on 100% of devices,  Then each version back drops by some percentage.  It's not like  a cliff where it suddenly will die.    My Phone has the latest version of Android which is 13.   Maybe it won't go to 14.  That is OK.   It will probably take years before new apps will not run on my current version.  

The batteries seem to last about 2 1/2 years.  Then I can take a look at what phones are available.

Thanks,

Kevin

Good luck with that project then!

In the context of Android, HAXM is an accelerator for the emulator. It provides a big speed increase over the non-accelerated emulator. HAXM is available at https://github.com/intel/haxm, but it is no longer being maintained. Maybe that's the reason Android Studio doesn't offer to install it any more.

Tim,
Appreciated information.
