	~~I have not performed this step yet myself~~. ~~However,~~ [https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp/wiki/Android-VM-Setup ~~the~~ official guide by '''Alistair Francis'''] should ~~be easy enough to follow. I will update this guide when I've done this myself~~.		To be added. [https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp/wiki/Android-VM-Setup The official guide by '''Alistair Francis'''] should get you quite far.

	N.B. in ~~my current setup,~~ WhatsApp ~~runs~~ on a ~~[https://lineageos.org/ LineageOS] phone, and its traffic is piped through the VPN~~.		Caveat: if you do not have access to KVM on your server, you will need to use an ARM AVD in softemu mode. In my experience, Android versions higher than 4.1.x are too slow to be usable. However, 4.1.2 on an emulated Nexus One API 16 (WVGA) in softemu mode can run WhatsApp on a very modest VPS (albeit slowly).
