Install Android Studio on Fedora 64 bits problems

I wanted to installing Android Studio on Fedora 25, 64 bits, but even after installing the needed packages mentioned in https://developer.android.com/studio/install.html, Android Studion refuses to create Android Virtual device and displays missing 32 bits libraries

$ sudo dnf install zlib.i686 ncurses-libs.i686 bzip2-libs.i686

I found some other additional packages to install by googling

$ sudo dnf install mesa-libGL-devel adb

Unfortunately the problems are always there. 

Finally I found this answer on
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29112107/how-to-solve-unable-to-run-mksdcard-sdk-tool-when-installing-android-studio-on
And installed the following
$ sudo dnf install compat-libstdc++-296.i686 compat-libstdc++-33.i686 compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64

The complete list to install

zlib.i686 ncurses-libs.i686 bzip2-libs.i686 mesa-libGL-devel adb compat-libstdc++-296.i686 compat-libstdc++-33.i686 compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64

And here we are

Enjoy!
