+# Install Anbox
+
+To install Anbox your system need to support [snaps](https://snapcraft.io). We
+do not officially support any other distribution method of Anbox at the moment
+but there are community made packages for various distributions (e.g. Arch Linux).
+However please keep in mind that the Anbox project can not give support to them
+and its solely in the responsibility of the community packager to keep up with
+upstream development and update the packaging to any new changes. Please feel
+free to report still any bugs you encounter as they may not be related to the
+packaging.
+
+If you don't know about snaps yet head over to [snapcraft.io](https://snapcraft.io/)
+to get an introduction of what snaps are, how to install support for them on your
+distribution and how to use them.
+
+The installation of Anbox consists of two steps.
+
+ 1. Install necessary kernel modules
+ 2. Install the Anbox snap
+
+In order to support the mandatory kernel subsystems ashmem and binder for the
+Android container you have to install two
+[DKMS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support)
+based kernel modules. The source for the kernel modules is maintained by the
+Anbox project [here](https://github.com/anbox/anbox-modules).
+
+At the moment we only have packages prepared for Ubuntu in a PPA on Launchpad.
+If you want to help to get the packages in your favorite distribution please
+come and talk to us or submit a PR with the distribution specific packaging.
+
+The second step will install the Anbox snap from the store and will give you
+everything you need to run the full Anbox experience.
+
+## Install necessary kernel modules
+
+In order to add the PPA to your Ubuntu system please run the following commands:
+
+```
+ $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:morphis/anbox-support
+ $ sudo apt update
+ $ sudo apt install anbox-modules-dkms
+```
+> In case `add-apt-repository` is missing, install it via:
+> ```
+> sudo apt install software-properties-common
+> ```
+
+These will add the PPA to your system and install the `anbox-modules-dkms`
+package which contains the ashmem and binder kernel modules. They will be
+automatically rebuild everytime the kernel packages on your system update.
+
+After you installed the `anbox-modules-dkms` package you have to manually
+load the kernel modules. The next time your system starts they will be
+automatically loaded.
+
+```
+ $ sudo modprobe ashmem_linux
+ $ sudo modprobe binder_linux
+```
+
+Now you should have two new nodes in your systems `/dev` directory:
+
+```
+ $ ls -1 /dev/{ashmem,binder}
+ /dev/ashmem
+ /dev/binder
+```
+
+## Install the Anbox snap
+
+Installing the Anbox snap is very simple:
+
+```
+ $ snap install --devmode --beta anbox
+```
+
+If you haven't logged into the Ubuntu Store yet, the `snap` command will
+ask you to use `sudo snap ...` in order to install the snap:
+
+```
+ $ sudo snap install --devmode --beta anbox
+```
+
+At the moment we require the use of `--devmode` as the Anbox snap is not
+yet fully confined. Work has started with the upstream `snapd` project to
+get support for full confinement.
+
+As a side effect of using `--devmode` the snap will not automatically update.
+In order to update to a newer version you can run:
+
+```
+ $ snap refresh --beta --devmode anbox
+```
+
+Information about the currently available versions of the snap is available
+via:
+
+```
+ $ snap info anbox
+```
+
+## Available snap channels
+
+Currently we only use the beta and edge channels for the Anbox snap. The edge
+channel tracks the latest development is always synced with the state of the
+master branch on github. The beta channel is updated less frequently to provide
+a more stable and bug free experience.
+
+Once proper confinement for the Anbox snap exists we will also start using the
+candidate and stable channels.
+
+# Uninstall Anbox
+
+If you want to remove Anbox from your system you first have to remove the snap:
+
+**NOTE:** By removing the snap you remove all data you stored within the snap
+from your system. There is no way to bring it back.
+
+```
+ $ snap remove anbox
+```
+
+Once the snap is removed you have to remove the installed kernel modules as well:
+
+```
+ $ sudo apt install ppa-purge
+ $ sudo ppa-purge ppa:morphis/anbox-support
+```
+
+Once done Anbox is removed from your system.
