How do I grant user _apt permissions?
Tried: sudo chown _apt /home/jonathan/Downloads/

and a reinstall but no luck.

HELP!

Looks like got installed?

It did not. But the SDK Manager icon appeared but does nothing when clicked.

I don’t know what icon you are talking about.
Open a terminal and run command sdkmanager and tell us what happened on your side.

If you right click on this icon, does it have something like “properties” you can see? Perhaps it shows what it is linked against. Also, on your regular user in a GUI console, does it work if you simply type sdkmanager?
