How to install
The app is a direct download (not the Play Store yet), so Android will ask you to allow the install once.
- Tap “Download the app” above. The
.apkfile saves to your Downloads. - Open the downloaded file. Tap the notification, or find it in your Files app under Downloads.
- Allow the install. If Android asks, tap “Settings” and enable “Allow from this source”, then go back.
- Tap Install, then Open. The Academy icon is now on your home screen.
Verify the download (SHA-256 checksum)
For the security-minded: confirm the file you downloaded matches ours.

Is it safe?
Yes. The app only loads africarisingacademy.com over a secure (HTTPS)
connection and is signed with our release key. It requests no unusual permissions —
just internet access, plus your camera and storage only when you choose to
upload or download something.
