Installing FDroid

OS: 16.04 (2020-W19)
Device: Oneplus One (bacon)
Channel: release-candidateReally simple question here. How does one go about installing FDroid on Ubuntu Touch? Do you install on an Android device, pull it over to UT, and install it in anbox or is there another way?
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
No need to install it on android - just get the apk from the fdroid site, put it on the UT device and install via adb. (See Anbox documentation http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/anbox.html)

@aclifton314 technically you can install it through Anbox but realitiscally it's too slow and buggy to be worth while

Perfect. Thanks everyone! I'll give it a shot this weekend.

@aclifton314 you can also install YalpStore there is a version of whyorean that still works anloy with no google account, and you need to select a Fairphone 2 as device, but overall it works and i can update my apps.
Here is the link: https://github.com/whyorean/YalpStore/releases -
@Xray2000 Hi. So you download the apk file and install directly onto the FP2 with UT? :question_mark:
-
@Opolork I transfer it to my oneplus 3t downloads directory and then i do adb install the apk file name ....
