Install required packages

yay -S anbox-git android-tools anbox-modules-dkms

Kernel Modules

Modprobe

sudo modprobe binder_linux devices=binder,hwbinder,vndbinder,anbox-binder,anbox-hwbinder,anbox-vndbinder

sudo modprobe ashmem_linux

Mount binder

mkdir -p /dev/binderfs sudo mount -t binder binder /dev/binderfs

Enable modules on startup

sudo nano /etc/modules-load.d/anbox.conf And paste the following: ashmem_linux binder_linux

Enable Network via NetworkManager

nmcli con add type bridge ifname anbox0 -- connection.id anbox-net ipv4.method shared ipv4.addresses 192.168.250.1/24

Enable anbox service

You should probably reboot here!

Install apps

adb install /path/to/app.apk

I apologize, I haven't used anbox since posting this.
in addition, it was deprecated, so you should look for an alternative.
