Unable to install Google Playstore

GirishKumar

Hi,
I had downloaded the evaluation versiton of Emteria for Raspberry Pi3 and I was able to install it, it was pretty smooth operation. All the apps which came with installation like Browser are working very nicely.

But I am facing one problem. I am not able to install any new apps. I want to Install Google Play store, or, something simillar so that I Can install Microsoft Apps. I tried through Fdroid, and could not find like google playstore or Microsoft apps.

I tried doing side install using .apk file downloaded, (I had given permissions for side install( whenever I click on the downloaded .apk file it says "Not able to open the file".

Can you provide me a link to the instructions to install google playstore so that I can install apps like gmail, youtube and Microsoft office ? After which I would like to upgrade the evaluvation version to a licensed version. My main aim is to test Microsoft apps like teams before I go for Licensed version.

Did you check all the apps already on the machine? There was an app store on mine. Don't remember the name. Lots of apps in it

Thanks for your response. I checked all the apps. But did not find an app store in my installation.
So as a work around, through google, I found out a site called aptoide which provides an installer. I was able to do installation of some apps with this but not google play store and google play services. I could install Microsoft teams, but due to the problem with google play service, it was not functioning properly.

Emteria provides no official support for Google Mobile Services.

F-Droid is an open-source app store for free applications. Starting with emteria.OS version 0.5.3, F-Droid is included in all emteria distributions by default. This guide shows how to install the “Yalp Store” from F-Droid and use it to download additional applications.
