    Note: you can create and run arc apps on nearly anything but for now the apps can only be downloaded through the web store on chrome OS devices.

    Step 1: download ARC Welder.

    Step 2: Choose Working directory.(this is where the ARC apps will be sent to)

    Step 3: add apk.

    Step 4 choose orientation/form

    Step 5 optional: Add metadata

    Step 6: Launch app by selecting the launch button.
