# Installation

> Install Coreply on your Android device by downloading the APK from GitHub Releases or using Obtainium.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check requirements">
    Coreply requires **Android 8 or higher**. Android 13 or higher is recommended for the best experience.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download the APK">
    Download the latest APK from the [Coreply releases page](https://github.com/coreply/coreply/releases).

    Alternatively, you can install and update Coreply through [Obtainium](https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/redirect?r=obtainium://add/https://github.com/coreply/coreply), which tracks GitHub releases and notifies you when a new version is available.

    <Note>
      To verify the authenticity of the APK, check that the SHA-256 hash of the signing certificate matches:

      ```text theme={null}
      87:95:62:D0:13:BD:E2:44:8E:D9:B2:F3:78:F0:DB:96:02:BF:BB:CF:70:E8:65:A0:25:F4:D2:52:D0:EB:AA:94
      ```

      You can verify this in Android Studio using `apksigner verify --print-certs`, or through a tool like `apkinfo`.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the APK">
    Open the downloaded APK file on your device to begin installation. Proceed through the standard Android installation dialog.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the app and proceed to quick start">
    After installation completes, open Coreply from your app drawer and follow the [Quick Start](/quickstart) guide to configure your AI provider and enable the service.
