Instructions

Quick install reference

For systemd distributions

Waydroid supports most common architectures (ARM, ARM64, x86 & x86_64 CPUs)

Waydroid uses Android's mesa integration for passthrough, and that enables support to most ARM/ARM64 SOCs on the mobile side, and Intel/AMD GPUs for the PC side. For Nvidia GPUs (except tegra) and VMs, we recommend using software-rendering

Follow the install instructions for your linux distribution. You can find a list in our docs.

After installing you should start the waydroid-container service, if it was not started automatically:

sudo systemctl enable --now waydroid-container

Then launch Waydroid from the applications menu and follow the first-launch wizard.
