How can I run Genymotion locally?
how to run Genymotion Desktop locally on Linux
Launch Genymotion Desktop from your installed path, then sign in and create or start a virtual device.
If you installed it in the default local folder, run ~/genymotion/genymotion, and if you installed it globally use /opt/genymotion; Linux uses the embedded QEMU/KVM setup so you do not need extra hypervisor software. Get Started with Genymotion Desktop
1. Install it on a supported local Linux machine, not in a VM, Docker, VPS, or server. 2. Make the installer executable and run it, for example:
chmod +x genymotion-X.Y.Z-linux_x64.run
./genymotion-X.Y.Z-linux_x64.run -d PATH
3. Start it:
~/genymotion/genymotion
or, if installed globally:
/opt/genymotion/genymotion
4. At first launch, log in with your Genymotion account.
5. Choose Personal use for the free local edition or I have a license for a paid license.
6. Create a new device from the app and start it.
If you want, I can walk you through the exact Linux install and first-device setup step by step.
