If you need to run Android applications (.apk files) or install them from the Play Market on a VPS server, use this instruction.
Most Android emulators require a fixed graphics adapter to run, but Windows VPS servers don't have one. Virtual machines are provided with a virtual graphics card with a standard set of Microsoft drivers.
However, there is an option to work around this and run an Android emulator on a Windows VPS.
So let's get started:
1. You need a virtual machine with Windows 2016 and Premium RDP (Recommended Plan 5 and up)
2. After activating the server, open the Command Prompt and install the .Net Framework 3.5 with the command:
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All
3. Download and install the Android emulator on the VPS server
Download the Android emulator for Windows VPS
After installation and launch, you can start working.
