The requirements are listed here (at the time of writing): https://developers.google.com/vr/android/get-started

Its maybe a little unclear, but you just need to download the Google VR SDK for Android and put it wherever you want on your local machine.

Once you have it there, you can open studio and use 'Open an existing Android Studio project', then select the directory and choose one of the sample projects and you should be up and running.

If you want to build it into your own project then you need to add in the dependency to your project gradle build file. I would strongly suggest you check the link again if you are having problems, as this is relatively new and the instructions may change over time and a blog or other guides may be out of date.
