How to install Anbox in Fedora 30

source

Open a terminal and type the following commands:

sudo dnf install dkms
sudo dnf install kernel-devel
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/anbox/anbox-modules
cd anbox-modules
sudo cp anbox.conf /etc/modules-load.d/
sudo cp 99-anbox.rules /lib/udev/rules.d/
sudo cp -rT ashmem /usr/src/anbox-ashmem-1
sudo cp -rT binder /usr/src/anbox-binder-1
sudo dkms install anbox-ashmem/1
sudo dkms install anbox-binder/1
sudo modprobe ashmem_linux
sudo modprobe binder_linux
sudo dnf install snapd
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
reboot
snap install --devmode --beta anbox

to update do this: snap refresh --beta --devmode anbox

But wait...Anbox doesn't launch!

because SELinux. Don't disable SELinux, that's a bad idea. Instead use SELinux Troubleshooter to find out the cause. To fix it I did this, it might be different for you:

sudo ausearch -c servicemanager --raw
sudo semodule -X 300 -i my-servicemanager.pp
sudo ausearch -c anboxd --raw
sudo semodule -X 300 -i my-anboxd.pp
sudo ausearch -c gatekeeperd --raw
sudo semodule -X 300 -i my-gatekeeperd.pp

Then launch Anbox. You might need to reboot first though.

Also, install adb so you can do: adb install filename.apk <--- to install apks into anbox (assuming you don't have your real android device plugged in)

I haven't tried to be honest. I'd suggest you check the source as this is a copy of https://www.linuxsurge.com/2019/08/how-to-install-anbox-in-fedora-30.html. ;)
