        i have been having a heck of time trying to get a apk to install i have been able to install everything onto the nexus 5.

        Copy the apk to /home/phablet/anbox-data/data
        
        Login to android container on your phone
        
            lxc-console -ndefault -P /home/phablet/anbox-data/containers -t0
        
        cd into data/
        
        install the apk by using pm install [appname].apk
        

        the very beginning try copy file never can find the directory... when trying to access the info via file manager not allowed... terminal i can... doing a terminal RM command directories can never be found any help would be great

          I've done it recently. Let's assume you want to install Spotify and the APK is called "com.spotify.music.apk".

          Then, on your PC in a terminal in the same folder where the APK is located

          adb root
          adb push com.spotify.music.apk /home/phablet/anbox-data/data
          adb shell
          sudo lxc-console -ndefault -P /home/phablet/anbox-data/containers -t0
          cd data
          pm install com.spotify.music.apk
          

          Then, on the phone, refresh the app scope and it should be there.

            BTW, did you try the official docs: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/anbox.html#how-to-install-new-apks

            After you install android-tools-adb on the phone (described in the docs) the installation of an APK would just require (again: on the phone)

            adb install my-app.apk

                @guy Please do not post the same question in two places at the same time. It will not get answered any quicker. I have deleted this one and left the other.
