Installation and Updating
So here we gonna learn ways of installing GearLock in your desired android-x86 system. There are several ways of doing so, you just need to pay some attention and read everything properly to avoid errors.
#
Get the latest GearLock installer binary
Simply head over to this link and click on Download button.
#
Place the binary anywhere inside android filesystem
In this guide we will copy gearlock
installer-binary to either Main Storage or Internal Storage or /sdcard from a file manager.
I'm using FX File Explorer for moving gearlock
installer-binary to Main Storage (aka the Internal Storage) from my Downloads folder.
#
Switch to command terminal / console
Now press either Alt + F1
or fn + Alt + F1
for switching to a command terminal.
If the buttons are not working as suggested above then install Termoneplus terminal emulator and open it.
#
Run the installer binary
Once you're in a black terminal prompt, type in the following and press Enter key after each line.
su
cp /sdcard/gearlock /data
cd /data
chmod 777 gearlock
./gearlock
#
Select your operating-system partition in the installer
So, at this stage you should have the installer-binary running. I have my android-x86 operating system installed inside the 7th partition called Android. Enter the partition number of your android-x86 installation.
#
