Three-platform support (Windows, Linux, macos), divided into two installation packages: light installer (excluding VBox) and Get started with VirtualBox
Genymotion requires VirtualBox to provide low-level virtualization support. Genymotion itself does not provide virtualization functions, but relies on VirtualBox to realize the functions of virtual machines. Therefore, if you want to use Genymotion, you must install VirtualBox.
Foreword: To learn a little about Android development and reverse engineering recently, you need to install an Android virtual machine. I simply looked through the articles on genymotion installation on the Internet, and only saw one article. The others were all moved, and they were still 16 years old.
.Requirement
: modify the installation path of the virtual machine
The computer should be rebooting! reboot! reboot! , because the first virtual machine I installed was not installed in the directory I specified, but the default path ~/AppData/Local/Genymobile/Genymotion/deployed/, I thought the setting was wrong, but I didn't find any useful articles on the Internet, so I made it up.
Another point is that there is no GUI interface to start the Android virtual machine in VBox
