Emulator: WARNING: HAXM 6.0.5 is installed. Please install HAXM >= 6.2.1 to fix compatibility issues on Mac

Navigate to [Android SDK Folder] --> Extra --> Intel --> Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and double click on HAXM installer intelhaxm-android.exe (on Mac IntelHAXM_6.2.1.dmg) and install it manually.

If you do not have latest version of HAXM then you can open sdk manager in android studio and download it.

Although, this should be installed automatically when you install Android Studio. See below.

Answering @DougThompson Question: What if HAXM installer not installing automatically ?

In that case,

  1. you can download HAXM installer from https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-intel-haxm.
  2. Keep the installer at [Android SDK Folder] --> Extra --> Intel
  3. Extract and install it manually.

now you are done.


On a Mac

  • navigate to [ANDROID_HOME]/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager
  • open and install IntelHAXM_6.2.1.dmg

The easiest way to do that from the CLI is to type open IntelHAXM_6.2.1.dmg then double click the IntelHAXM_6.2.1.mpkg file and follow the installation prompts.

Note: I tried running the silent_install.sh file in that folder and it failed so I'm guessing that's the root problem here–that script may have a bug with how it mounts the DMG.


With Android Studio, you can find HAXM Installer under SDK tools tab.
