@josersleal Thanks for reporting this issue. We have updated the page to refer to the Set Up Your Environment in the React native docs. And we have updated the instructions to recommend retrieving the JDK install directory from the settings page in Android Studio rather than hardcoding the path in the page. Hopefully, both of these changes will help to prevent the tutorial from breaking when the underlying, external technologies make changes. I have run through the new page content successfully end-to-end, so hopefully this will allow you to complete the tutorial. Although there are certain details, such as the specifics of your Android Studio installation, that I am unable to reproduce or validate. Thanks again for reporting the errors you found in this page.
