SYNOPSIS

anbox [command] [options]

DESCRIPTION

anbox runs Android applications on any Linux operating system. It puts the Android operating system into a container, abstracts hardware access, and integrates core system services into a Linux environment.

PARAMETERS

launch

Launch an Android application
--package
Specify the Android package name to launch
--component
Specify the component/activity to launch

CAVEATS

Anbox requires kernel modules and a properly configured container environment. Not all Android applications are compatible due to the lack of Google Play Services.

HISTORY

Anbox (Android in a Box) is an open-source compatibility layer that allows Android apps to run on Linux. Development began around 2017 as an alternative to Android emulators.
