   sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
   sudo reboot
   

2. Download the Genymotion Desktop installer Visit the download page and pick Ubuntu – 104 MB (the .deb package).

   wget https://download.genymotion.com/releases/genymotion-desktop-latest/Genymotion_1.XX.XX-ubuntu.deb
   

3. Install the package

   sudo dpkg -i Genymotion_1.XX.XX-ubuntu.deb
   sudo apt-get install -f   # fix any missing dependencies
   

4. Add your user to the vboxusers group (optional, only if you plan to use VirtualBox)

   sudo usermod -aG vboxusers $USER
   sudo reboot
   

5. Launch Genymotion

• Open the Genymotion application from your app launcher.
• Sign in with your Genymotion account (or create a free trial).
• Download and create a new virtual device; the default hypervisor is QEMU/KVM, so no additional setup is required.

> sudo modprobe kvm
> ls -l /dev/kvm
> 

> sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils
