due to IT restrictions I cannot use to package-install-automation of the Android SDK.

To be able to create an emulator in Androids' AVD manager, I first of all need a system image for my target device. But regarding the below screenshot I haven't installed any.

So can anyone tell me: 1. where to get an system image for Android 6.0 API Level 23 2. how to install this system image manually/offline

Thank you in advance!

Firstly select the system image to be downloaded in android studio sdk, then it will start downloading the image and will say Downloading from <url>. Copy that URL and download from some download manager like IDM and after downloading, extract the files in system-images folder.

The directory structure pattern is sdk-folder/system-images/android-<api_number>/google_apis/x86 (or armeabi-v7a).

So, extract in correct pattern and then open the android studio sdk, you will see that the package is installed.

Now, you can make a virtual device from the downloaded system image.
