How do I use it on Ubuntu?

1. Dependencies and Virtualization Preparation

• Use QEMU (default) or VirtualBox (not recommended) on supported Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
• If using VirtualBox, install first:

     sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo reboot
     sudo apt install ./virtualbox-7.0_7.0.26-168464~Ubuntu~noble_amd64.deb
     

Then, add to vboxusers group and check kernel modules are loaded.

2. Running Genymotion Installer

• Grant execution permission to the downloaded .run file:

     chmod +x genymotion-X.Y.Z-linux_x64.run
     

• Install (e.g., install to home directory):

     ./genymotion-X.Y.Z-linux_x64.run -d ~/genymotion
     

3. Starting Virtual Devices

• After installation, start the Genymotion app, download and start an Android device image.
• Note: On Ubuntu, Wayland is recommended, and X11 may crash.

• Crashing: If using an NVIDIA GPU, install the official driver instead of nouveau (see Genymotion Support article).

• VirtualBox settings: Secure Boot Configuration Steps
