I'm having trouble interpreting the use of "APK" file for Raspberry Pi. By convention, this file extension is used for, so called, side loading Android binaries when not from the official Play Store.
That being said, I can find no way to decompress lacxxx.apk on a Debian os
using something like tar or 7-zip.
Am I missing the point here? I'm not running an Rpi but I am running Debian on an arm 64 processor.
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hi Colin.Thanks for asking. The Raspbian operating system likes apk files, and Raspbian users generally expect their software to be packaged accordingly.
It's probably best if you disregard the Raspbian version even though it's compiled for ARM processors. Compiling on Debian Linux from our source code is discussed in our "Debian and LAC" forum here:
It should be very easy for you to compile LAC's source code on your Debian arm system. Just download the latest source code version in the usual ".tar.gz" archive format, decompress it according to the usual Debian norms, and compile it with "make" or with "CodeBlocks" as described in our "Compiling and installing LAC" forum here:
