How to Install Genymotion Emulator?
š± Step-by-Step Installation Based on Your Operating System
| Operating System | Download Link | Installation Steps |
|-------------------|---------------|--------------------|
| macOS (Intel or Apple M) | <https://www.genymotion.com/download/> | 1. Download the DMG file.<br>2. Open it and drag the Genymotion icon to the Applications folder.<br>3. If you use VirtualBox, install it before Genymotion (the VirtualBox DMG file for Intel versions is available on the same page).<br>4. Click Allow in System Preferences ā Security & Privacy ā General if prompted. |
| Windows 10/11 (64-bit) | <https://www.genymotion.com/download/> | 1. Download the installer (EXE).<br>2. During installation, VirtualBox is installed by default; if you only want to install Genymotion without VirtualBox, enable the separate VirtualBox option.<br>3. After installation, run Genymotion and log in to your account. |
| Linux (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / Debian 12 / Fedora 40) | <https://www.genymotion.com/download/> | 1. Download the .tar.gz package.<br>2. Extract it to the desired folder.<br>3. Run the command ./genymotion-desktop (or double-click the desktop icon).<br>4. If needed, install VirtualBox: <br>``bash<br>sudo apt install ./virtualbox-7.0_7.0.26-168464~Ubuntu~noble_amd64.deb<br>`` <br>5. After installing VirtualBox, run Genymotion again. |
š§ Important Notes:
- Supported Versions: Genymotion only supports the latest versions of the mentioned operating systems. For example, Windows 7 is not supported.
- Hypervisor: macOS and Linux use QEMU (an internal hypervisor) by default; if you want to use VirtualBox, you need to install it. Windows has VirtualBox installed by default with the installer.
- Account: To use Genymotion, you need to create a free account or your company account on the website and log in initially.
- License: If you are in an organization and use a server license, after logging in, you can enter the server address in the Account section of the settings.
š Cloud Services (Genymotion SaaS)
- If you are looking for cloud emulators, you can use the Genymotion web dashboard. The installation steps on the server do not require installation on the desktop; just create an account and manage your virtual devices.
