I've edited the comment. I think my markdown was a bit off so some things weren't clear enough, it even cut some text without wrapping it.

mv <file or folder to move> <destination directory> a command for moving files
and sudo means you wanna execute a command with root privileges so it prompts for a password before it executes.

android studio can be run from anywhere really but its neater if its put in a directory that wont be disturbed by users. and the mentioned locations are perfect for that.

apt-get or apt is a package tool for linux ubuntu (and some other linux distros). The command is for installing all the libraries listed after the keyword install separated by spaces with this package manager. If you are running a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you need to install these.

I hope this is helpful really, do ask if you're still need more clarification
