title: Android Studio running on VMware virtual machine: KVM is not installed
body: <p>I'm running Android Studio on a Ubuntu VMWare virtual machine. The problem is that when I try to run an app with the AVD emulator I get the following errors in the console:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/home/verite/Android/Sdk/tools/emulator -avd Nexus_5_API_22_x86 -netspeed full -netdelay none
  emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
  Please ensure KVM is properly installed and usable.
  CPU acceleration status: KVM is not installed on this machine (/dev/kvm is missing).
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried to solve the problem by doing this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils
  sudo adduser `id -un` libvirtd
  sudo adduser `id -un` kvm
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and restarting, but it doesn't work. When I issue the command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo kvm-ok
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get</p>
  
  <pre><code>INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions
  KVM acceleration can NOT be used
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Could someone tell me how to fix the problem, please?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
