How To Fix anbox: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu anbox is provided by anbox package.

anbox is:

Anbox is a container-based approach to boot a full Android system on a regular GNU/Linux system.

In other words: Anbox will let you run Android on your Linux system without the slowness of virtualization.

Anbox uses Linux namespaces (user, pid, uts, net, mount, ipc) to run a full Android system in a container and provide Android applications on any GNU/Linux-based platform.

The Android inside the container has no direct access to any hardware. All hardware access is going through the anbox daemon on the host. It reuses what Android implemented within the QEMU-based emulator for OpenGL ES accelerated rendering. The Android system inside the container uses different pipes to communicate with the host system and sends all hardware access commands through these.

This package needs Android kernel modules and rootfs image, see /usr/share/doc/anbox/README.Debian for information.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install anbox

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install anbox.

sudo apt -y install anbox

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install anbox
