how to install arm64 in kali linux
**how to install arm64**
Short answer for Kali Linux users:
- Genymotion Desktop on Kali Linux is not officially supported and cannot run arm64 images. Kali is not among the Linux distributions we officially test or document for Genymotion Desktop. If you need arm64, use Genymotion SaaS (cloud) with arm64 images or switch to a supported Linux distro for Desktop. Source: Genymotion Desktop requirements (Kali/Linux not officially supported) and general ARM64 guidance. https://genymotion.com/blog/gmsaas-1-7-1-is-out (finds note on architecture) | https://genymotion.com/blog/product/plugins/page/12
What you can do instead
- Genymotion SaaS (Cloud) with arm64
- Log in to Genymotion SaaS.
- Create a new virtual device using an arm64 recipe/image.
- If you need Google Play, install Open GApps (GAPPS) after the VM boots.
- Deploy apps via Google Play, APK drag-and-drop, or ADB.
- Save the VM as a custom recipe/image for reuse.
- This path runs arm64 out of the box on ARM64 servers.
- If you must use a desktop setup, switch to a officially supported Linux distro (e.g., Ubuntu LTS, Debian) and run Genymotion Desktop with QEMU or VirtualBox as guided. Note: Kali Linux isn’t listed as officially supported.

Would you like me to tailor instructions for your exact path (SaaS vs Desktop) and your host OS, and confirm which Android version you’re targeting?
One quick question to help me assist you better: are you planning to run ARM64 on Genymotion SaaS (cloud) or Genymotion Desktop on Kali Linux, and do you want Google Play access included?
