### 5️⃣ Gotchas & Troubleshooting
| Issue | Fix |
|-------|-----|
| “Java not found” | Install OpenJDK 17 (`sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk`) or let the installer bundle its own JRE. |
| “Genymotion not starting after update” | Clear `~/.Genymobile` or `C:\Users\
| “Cannot download device” | Check internet connectivity; ensure firewall allows Genymotion to download. |
| “Windows 7” | Unsupported – please upgrade to Windows 10 or 11. |
