Here are some extra ways to install

software onto your emteria.OS-powered Pi

INSTALLING

Start F-Droid

Find F-Droid on your home screen on in the apps

menu and start it up. It won’t launch straight away

as it will first need to update all its repositories –

something you’ll be familiar with from installing

software on Raspbian using apt-get. This might

also take a while so please be patient.

STEP 01

Install!

Select the app you want, then hit the install button.

It’s as easy as that – F-Droid even includes some

info on the apps as well. F-Droid also lets you

keep the apps up-to-date, although it’s a bit more

manual than the Play Store equivalent.

STEP 03

Find an app STEP 02

F-Droid works very similarly to the usual Play Store

on normal Android devices. There are categories

you can look for apps in, and you can also search

for something you like. Some of your favourite apps

on Android may even be available.

INSTALLING F-DROID APPS

NewPipe

Play YouTube videos on

your device with this small,

lightweight app that doesn’t

require the original YouTube

app to work.

Terminal Emulator

As emteria.OS is a bit more

hackable than stock Android,

you’ll be able to make good use

of this terminal emulator to run

more advanced commands.

Face Slim

Missing out on some social

media time? Face Slim allows

you to use Facebook much like

the standard app.
