Install

The gateway is a single executable file. It connects the Android emulator on your Mac to the browser page. You do not need Node.js to run it.

Run the install script

Check the requirements first. Then run this in Terminal:

curl -fsSL https://droid.devpier.dev/install.sh | sh

The script:

1. Downloads the gateway for macOS on Apple Silicon (darwin-arm64).
2. Saves it as ~/.local/bin/android-emu-web.
3. Makes it executable.

Check that the command is found

android-emu-web --no-open

If your shell reports command not found, ~/.local/bin is not on your PATH. Add it, for example in ~/.zshrc:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Then open a new Terminal window and try again. Press Ctrl+C to stop the gateway.

Update

Run the same install command again. It replaces the file in ~/.local/bin.

When the page is newer than your gateway, the page tells you the gateway is out of date and shows the command to upgrade it.

Next step

First run: start the gateway, let it check your Android SDK, and open the page.
