How to Install
-
4. Downloading Waydroid Images
Next, get the official Waydroid image set (system + vendor files):
wget https://images.waydroid.org/system-arm64.img.xz; wget https://images.waydroid.org/vendor-arm64.img.xz
Then extract them with:
unxz *.xz
These will be used by Waydroid to create the Android container.
-
5. Initializing Waydroid Container
Initialize the Waydroid container environment:
sudo waydroid init
This sets up the Android rootfs and vendor images for your system.
-
6. Starting Waydroid Session
Now start the container and launch the Android session:
sudo systemctl start waydroid-container
Then run:
waydroid session start
-
7. Launching Android Desktop
Finally, open Waydroid GUI (Android desktop):
waydroid show-full-ui
A full Android interface should appear, ready to use apps and navigation.
-
8. Exiting and Stopping Waydroid
When done, close the Android window and stop the container safely:
sudo systemctl stop waydroid-container
You can start it again anytime using the previous commands.
So Now I’m truly Happy if My Guide could Help you to Get Started with Waydroid on RHEL-based GNU/Linux!
