If there are any problems encountered when installing the IDE, you may want to check and make sure you have a JDK and JRE installed. If you experience trouble building or running the project, you may not have the necessary build tools, which you can download directly through the IDE. If the app does not run on the emulator, it may be that the emulator is too slow, and you should look into installing one from an outside source.
If there are any other questions or concerns, you can either send a mail to the systers-dev mailing list adding the tag [FirstAide-Android] to the title or join #firstaide channel in our slack group. To get an invitation to the slack group click here.
