Anbox

What is Anbox?

Anbox is a tool that enables users to run Android applications on any GNU/Linux operating system. By encapsulating the Android operating system within a container, Anbox provides a seamless integration of Android apps with the host Linux environment. The solution leverages standard Linux technologies, such as containers (LXC), to isolate the Android system from the host platform, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Android versions, including the latest releases from the Android Open Source Project
