$ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9 g++-4.9 -yĪlso in order to avoid an error where ‘CXXABI_x.y.z’ is not found when running the installer, issue the following commands. $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test This is not mentioned in the official documentation, but your Ubuntu server will need the basic development toolchain and gcc 4.9 installed in order to install Genymotion. I have written an article here which fully describes the installation process on Ubuntu.

Genymotion leverages virtualization technology to create each Android device, so you must have VirtualBox installed. This emulator provides a rich set of device choices (Galaxy, Nexus, etc.), disk/RAM resource settings, OpenGL hardware acceleration, sensor management, and other nice features that really set it apart. There is the official Android Emulator, of course, but for this article we are going with the emulator from Genymotion.
More often than not, an Android emulator is used for custom development of mobile apps, but don’t overlook its utility as a way to access your favorite mobile applications directly from your desktop, or as a way to preview upcoming Android releases. By installing an Android emulator on your Ubuntu desktop, you can bring this power to your desktop.

Android is one of the leading platforms of the mobile industry.
