RUN ANDROID ON RASPBERRY PI Feature
Register!
You’ll need to first register an account on emteria.com
- look for the Register option on the top right of the
home page. Fill out the relevant details, confirm your
email address, and then make sure you’re logged into
your account on the emteria.OS website.
STEP 01
Get the installer
From your emteria.com account you can download
the installer for your system. This will burn the
image for emteria.OS onto a microSD card to be
used in a Raspberry Pi. On Windows you’ll have to
install the installer using the setup wizard, while on
macOS you’ll have to drag it into the Applications
folder and run it using superuser in the Terminal.
STEP 02
Flash the SD
All you need to do now is open the installer, enter
your emteria.OS username and password, and
select the Raspberry Pi 3 as your device of choice
for installing. Next, you’ll need to select your
microSD card as the installation location and
then just wait – the installer will download the
image and then burn it to your microSD card.
Now you’re ready!
STEP 03
Emteria.OS prices
Free to test
During the
initial setup
of emteria.OS,
you’ll be asked
to activate your
device with a
licence – clicking Next allows you to continue on
with emteria.OS and use it for free. There are some
limitations, however: it only stays on for eight hours
at a time, and has a watermark in the corner. Perfect
for testing it out with a few projects, though!
Purchasing a licence
There are full licences for purchase on emteria.com,
including a cheaper ‘personal’ option and one suited
for business that includes bulk-buy discounts.
