How to resolve Android Studio's “Studio does not have write access” error?

Due to what powerusers.codidact.com/posts/296173 explains, I want to update Android Studio. However, this requires that I bypass a stock permission fault:

Studio does not have write access to [$pwd]. Please run it [as] a privileged user to update.

The most popular method to bypass this error is: ^[1]

#!/usr/bin/env sh
kdotool windowclose $(kdotool getactive window) && \
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $(command -v android-studio-canary) && \
android-studio-canary

However, when I attempt to apply the update, it fails: ^[2]

This appears to solely affect macOS and Linux-based OSes.

My Environment

1. #!/usr/bin/env sh
   rpm -qf "$(command -v android-studio-canary)" \
   	--queryformat "$(
   		cat <<'EOF'

   Release: %{RELEASE}
   Architecture: %{ARCH}

   Packager: %{PACKAGER}

   EOF
   	)"$'\n' | yq -P
