DSA v0.2.0

Install

Download DSA-v0.2.0-win-x64-setup.exe and run it. Setup installs the DSA service and the dsa command, and the service then downloads the newest supported Android image in the background.

• On an ARM64 PC (such as Snapdragon), download DSA-v0.2.0-win-arm64-setup.exe instead (SHA-256 d14fc6738381a49641c2ee58d3c3099c2e3177ff0375c0605ca7962414cfa890). Its Android runs arm64-v8a apps only.
• Needs 64-bit Windows 10 1803 or later, or Windows 11, with Virtual Machine Platform turned on.
• dsa status shows the download; dsa start --wait starts Android once it is in.
