Can you give me the Linux installation steps?
1. Download the installer
• Visit the Genymotion download page and choose the Linux option.
• For Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble), Debian 12 (Bookworm) or Fedora 40 you’ll get a file like
genymotion-5.5.0-linux_x64.run.
2. Prepare the installer
cd ~/Downloads
chmod +x genymotion-5.5.0-linux_x64.run
3. Run the installer Local installation (recommended)
./genymotion-5.5.0-linux_x64.run
Or specify a custom path:
./genymotion-5.5.0-linux_x64.run -d /opt/genymotion
Global installation (not recommended – may cause permission issues)
sudo ./genymotion-5.5.0-linux_x64.run
4. Start Genymotion • From your desktop environment’s application launcher, click Genymotion. • Or, in a terminal:
/opt/genymotion/genymotion
or, if installed in your home folder:
~/genymotion/genymotion
5. First‑time setup • Sign in with your Genymotion account or create a new one. • If you’re behind a proxy, configure it in View → Proxy options. • Choose Personal use (free) or I have a license if you have a Pro license.
6. Virtual Device creation • Click Add new virtual device, pick an Android version, and launch it. • Genymotion uses the embedded QEMU/KVM hypervisor (no extra software needed). • If you prefer VirtualBox, install it separately and follow the VirtualBox setup guide (but it’s not recommended on Linux).
7. Optional – Genymotion Shell • To script sensor changes or automate tasks:
~/genymotion/genymotion-shell
or
/opt/genymotion/genymotion-shell
Quick checklist
- ✅ Supported distros: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Debian 12, Fedora 40 (x86_64).
- ✅ No extra hypervisor needed; QEMU/KVM is bundled.
- ✅ Use the
-dflag for custom install path; default installs to~/genymotion/. - ✅ For security‑boot‑enabled systems, reboot after installation to load modules.
If you run into any issues—like permission errors or missing dependencies—check the Genymotion help docs or let us know!
