        So, I am trying to load F-Droid on to my OnePlus 6. I have downloaded the apk to the Download folder on my phone from the website using Morph. I have verified it is in that file on my phone. I open a terminal on my phone and type; apk install /Home/Downloads/F-Droid.apk......and I get this message!

        adb: error: failed to get feature set: no devices/emulators found -waiting for device -

        What am I missing?

          @Dunbrokin You can not install apk files (Android apps) on Ubuntu Touch natively.

          To do so, you might first install WayDroid, which is a kind of Android container for Ubuntu Touch (A bit like WINE for Windows software on Linux).

          To install WayDroid, go through the Open Store and get "WayDroid helper" app, or go to the manual installation here:

            @stanwood Thank you for that, I have now installed WayDroid and got into Lineage and using the browser in Lineage have downloaded the apk to the download file in Lineage.....but I cannot see how to use, or even get to, the terminal in Lineage?

              @Dunbrokin Why would you use the terminal? I would use the file manager to get to the downloaded file and open it from there.

                @Moem Good question....I have had no experience with apk's...and assumed (erroneously) that it was the same as a deb! Thank you for increasing my knowledge! Much appreciatted!

                  @Dunbrokin Sorry, more confusion from me, I did not mean a deb file as that gets installed by the system....I am just so used to installing from the CLI that I had forgotten that you do not always need sudo apt install etc.

                    Yeah, I don't think that's common in Android or similar systems.
