**How to install Genymotion Desktop on Ubuntu**
Genymotion Desktop runs on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) and uses the built‑in QEMU/KVM hypervisor.
Follow the steps below to get a fully functional Android emulator on your machine.
1. **Update your system**
```bash
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).
```bash
wget https://download.genymotion.com/releases/genymotion-desktop-latest/Genymotion_1.XX.XX-ubuntu.deb
```
3. **Install the package**
```bash
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)**
```bash
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.
> **Tip:** If you encounter any problems, make sure the `kvm` module is loaded and you have permission to use it:
> ```bash
> sudo modprobe kvm
> ls -l /dev/kvm
> ```
> If `kvm` is not available, install the KVM packages:
> ```bash
> sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils
> ```
That’s it! You now have a fully‑functional Android emulator on Ubuntu 24.04.
