Android Studio Emulator “/dev/kvm is not found”

Question

Couldn\'t use x86 emulators, AVD manager shows warning \"/dev/kvm is not found\" and telling me to edit BIOS security setting to enable VT-x.

Answer 1

I tried reinstalling HAXM a few times but kept getting the errors.

In my case I actually had to go into Bios Settings and enable Virtualization.

It worked for me. Just in case this helps anyone.

Answer 2

On Mac OS, After installing make sure to allow Intel HAXM under "Security & Privacy".

This was the only way I was able to run the Android Emulator :)

Answer 3

Re-installing HAXM resolved my problem Steps:

1. Make sure SDK Manager -> Extras -> Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) is installed
2. Navigate to <sdk>/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/
3. Run ./HAXM\ installation -u
4. Run ./HAXM\ installation

Answer 4

Either your CPU does not support virtualization, or it is disabled in the bios. Go into your bios and see if you can find a setting to enable it.
