Installing An App And Running It

via ADB

In order to install your own app and run it on the Almer Arc you can follow these instructions:

1. Obtain an APK file for the app you want to install. For our purposes I'll refer to the file as example.apk moving on.
2. Connect your device to your desktop via a USB cable.
3. Using Adb, run the following command from the directory where example.apk is located on your desktop: adb install example.apk.
4. Install and open the Almer App on your phone and connect it to the Arc. In the App Switching menu your app should now be available for launching. (To get to the App Switching menu, tap on the menu icon on the top left of the screen after you have connected.)
