If we want to proceed with the installation of the software, we grab our Android phone. From here, we proceed to download the free LinConnect Alpha for Linux app: for everything to go the right way, the Android version installed on our device must be higher than 4.0. After this phase, we just have to install the server and then move to our PC.
