   You are now ready to install Genero Mobile for Android (GMA) onto your device.

4. Connect your Android device to your computer's USB port.
   
5. To deploy and validate your app to a device, you must configure the device for development. Enable USB debugging on your device by checking the Allow USB debugging option. Select Always allow from this computer so that you do not have to repeat this step. On Android 4.0 and newer, it's in Settings >> Developer options. On Android 4.2 and newer, Developer options is hidden by default. To make it available, go to Settings >> About phone (or About tablet) and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options and to allow USB Debugging.

9. Check the communication from the computer to your device. From Genero Studio, select Tools >> Android Tools >> List Devices. In the output panel you should see a list of devices attached. If several devices are connected, you will need to define device ID in the display client configuration. If a device is offline, restart the state Allow USB debugging.
   
10. From Genero Studio, select Tools >> Android Tools >> Deploy Genero Mobile for Android.

    In the output panel you will see that the deploy started and finished. On the device you will see a new icon on the Apps screen labeled Genero Mobile. This is the development client.

11. Disable installation from unknown sources on your device. Select Settings >> Security and tap Unknown Sources to deselect it.
    
12. Test your configuration. From Genero Studio, find the OfficeStoreMobile project and open it. Execute the OrdersApp. You should now see the Orders program running on your device. You can now run your own apps from Genero Studio to your device. You can also deploy an app to the device. See Deploy a mobile app for testing for details.
