Tried to use the info here: Alexa for Ubuntu Alexa for Ubuntu
... did the "sudo snap install anbox-installer --classic" thing, and it did its thing... but still no ANBOX... yet I get this:
snap "anbox-installer" is already installed, see 'snap help refresh'
next did: $ sudo apt install adb... which installed fine w/o error,
but when I do this: $ adb install /home/cf73/Downloads/alexa.apk,
I get: * daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037 * daemon started successfully error: no devices/emulators found adb: error: failed to get feature set: no devices/emulators found - waiting for device - ^C (ie abort as it just hangs...)
------------------------------------- next rabbit hole:
So, went to:https://linuxhint.com/install_anbox_android_emulator_ubuntu/ ...and followed it's version to get this darn AnBox:
which after doing all its info I get to try again using: sudo snap install --devmode --beta anbox
but got: 'error: snap "anbox" is not available on beta for this architecture (i386) but exists on other architectures (amd64).'
BUT ---- seems that's as far as I can get!
I ALSO run into this vicious circle trying to get the darn Alexa APP at: Amazon Alexa: Appstore for Android https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-com-Amazon-Alexa/dp/B00P03D4D2
I click on "Download the Amazon App" which takes me to this: Getting Started with Apps... https://www.amazon.com/androidapp
BUT, that link just goes back to: https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1002999431 which wants me to go back to: https://www.amazon.com/androidapp
Apparently I need this bloody APP thing to finish setting up my Echo Show 8, requiring this phone APP, but I have no phone - smart or otherwise (I use HAM Radio for communications... or someone can email me..)
