Installation and Setup Guide

n
Install a le browser.
Procedure
1 Browse to the URL for downloading the Horizon Client app, or search for the Horizon Client app in the
Google Play Store or Amazon Appstore for Android.
For some devices, you download the le to the device. For others, you download the le to a PC or a
USB device.
2 If necessary, copy the app (.apk le) to your device.
3 Install the app according to the device's customary procedure for installing apps.
For example, on some devices, you must tap the le to install it.
What to do next
To determine whether the installation succeeded, verify that the Horizon app icon appears on the Apps tab
on the Android device.
The rst time you launch Horizon Client on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the app prompts you to allow
Horizon Client to make and manage phone calls, access photos, media, and les, and record audio on your
device.
If you installed Horizon Client on a thin client, see “Congure Horizon Client in Thin Client Mode,” on
page 20.
Configure AirWatch to Deliver Horizon Client to Android Devices
You can congure AirWatch to deliver Horizon Client to Android device users.
You can optionally specify a list of Connection Server instances or a default Connection Server instance. If
you specify a list of servers, the servers appear as shortcuts in Horizon Client. If you specify a default server,
Horizon Client automatically connects to that server.
If your environment is set up for Android for Work, do not follow this procedure. Instead, see “Congure
AirWatch to Deliver Horizon Client to Android for Work Devices,” on page 16.
