title: Install HAXM on OS X Yosemite for make android simulator working
body: <p>I need to use the AndroidStudio simulator, but the IDE show me follow error:</p>
  
  <p>emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
  Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
  CPU acceleration status: HAX is not installed on this machine (/dev/HAX is missing).</p>
  
  <p>So I tried to find in the web solutions to solve my problem; finally I tried this:</p>
  
  <p>1) I went to AndroidStudio > tools > android > SDK android and I installed HAXM</p>

  <p>2) then I went to android > sdk > extras > intel, I opened Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager directory and start installing IntelHAXM_1.1.4.dmg; at the end the wizard showed me this error</p>

  <p>3) surfing the web I found some guides for to force to install the kext (this I intended) and I tried to write tis on terminal</p>

  <p>Restarting the system, the simulator does not work. could anyone help me solve my problem? installing the HAXM, or deactivate it, both are fine.
  Thanks a lot!!!</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: finaly I solved this problem simply change the SDK from 6.0 to 5.1.1, so the emulator didn't bind me to use HAXM; however if someone has some solution, please write evenly.</p>
