Preparations
Check device compatibility
Make sure your tablet has:
- 6 GB RAM
- 30 GB storage
- Wi-Fi connection
- Android 12 or higher
Enable unknown sources
- Go to Settings > Security.
- Toggle on Unknown sources to allow installation of apps from sources other than the Google Play Store.
- If these settings aren’t available due to device restrictions, contact your administrator.
Installation steps
Download the APKs
- Use the link provided to you by email to download the 2 APK files: ANA and VIL.
Tip (downloading the APK):
- Click the link provided in the email. This redirects you to Artifactory. Make sure you are logged in with the correct credentials.
- Open the Packages tab to see the list of available versions.
- Select the version you want and download the APK.
- Save the file in a location you can easily access (for example, the Downloads folder).
Tip (faster path with adb):
If you already have adb set up and your tablet is connected, you can install the APKs directly from your computer and skip the transfer and on-device install steps below:adb install <path-to-ANA.apk>adb install <path-to-VIL.apk>After that, jump to Open VIL.
Transfer to the tablet (if not using adb)
You can transfer files to your Android tablet using:
- Android File Transfer
- OpenMTP
- LocalSend
If you have adb installed and still prefer to push the files first, run:
adb push <path-to-your-file> <path-on-device>
Locate the APK files
Open your file manager and navigate to the folder where you saved the APKs.
Install both APKs
- Tap on the APK file to start the installation.
- Follow the prompts to complete installation.
- If enabling Unknown sources for installing apps outside the Google Play Store is unavailable due to account restrictions, please contact your device administrator to request access.
Using adb:
In case you have adb installed and are connected to the device, you can use the command line to install the APK:
adb install <path-to-apk>
Open VIL
- Once installed, open the app from the installation screen or from your app drawer.
- Authorize the app via QR code or file upload, as shared in the fileshare email.
- If QR scanning isn’t possible, download the authorization file from the email and transfer it to your tablet.
Open ANA and start your evaluation
To ensure secure access to all navigation features, start VIL before each session. This authenticates your token and initializes the connection to online services.
