When watching a video, choose a high-resolution view, it will be much clearer.

operating system: ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Installation command:
sudo apt-get install lib32z1
sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6
sudo dpkg -i appinventor2-setup_2.3_all.deb

What is the reason for the unsuccessful installation?

I have just tested the installation process, and it worked fine for me:

cd
sudo rm -rf /usr/google/appinventor
sudo rm -rf ~/.appinventor
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install lib32z1
sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6  >> "latest version already installed"
cd Downloads
sudo dpkg -i appinventor2-setup_2.3_all.deb
cd
/usr/google/appinventor/commands-for-Appinventor/aiStarter &

Both emulator and device via USB worked

After waiting for a long time, there was no response.
Why is there a picture situation?

When doing Companion updates, move the emulator window to the side so you can see if the AI2 web site has popped up a confirmation dialog.

When installing the emulator, the picture appears.
The emulator still cannot be installed?

Try this ?

I'll suggest to use genymotion or android studio emulator (for Linux) or Memu and Bluestacks (for Windows).

After changing the App Inventor source code (non-APK program), will the android studio emulator display the modification result instantly?

17

You will have to manually refresh the companion if do a non ui change.

The computer ubuntu 20.04 LTS is set as a hotspot.
Android phones connect to computer hotspots via WIFI.

Is there a problem with the WIFI connection between the computer and the android phone?

The debugger stops at 20%, why?
