Android setup
Web testing in Trq needs nothing but the app — the browser is bundled. Mobile testing drives an Android emulator, so it needs the standard Android tooling on your machine once. This is a five-minute, one-time setup.
Trq ships the mobile automation engine inside the app. You provide the Android SDK — the adb bridge and the emulator — plus at least one virtual device (AVD). These are the same tools Android developers already have.
1. Install the Android SDK
The easiest path is Android Studio — installing it gives you the SDK, adb, the emulator, and a device manager in one go. (If you prefer, the standalone command-line tools work too.)
After installing, make sure the SDK's platform-tools (which contains adb) and emulator folders are on your PATH, or set ANDROID_HOME (Trq also looks in the default ~/Library/Android/sdk).
2. Create a virtual device (AVD)
In Android Studio open Device Manager → Create device, pick a phone (e.g. a Pixel), choose a system image, and finish. That AVD is what Trq boots into.
3. Verify
Confirm the tooling is reachable from a terminal:
adb version # prints the adb version
emulator -list-avds # lists your AVDs by name
If both work, you're ready.
Next
Boot a device and record — record your first mobile test.
