The Android store should offer its users everything they could possibly want, given that it has almost 2 million apps and games. But it doesn’t and that is why third-party installers like ACMarket are becoming so popular. ACMarket is a great repository for unofficial apps, games, emulators, and more and it’s all free. And because it is an Android app store, you can even install it on your Mac or Windows PC. Read on to find out how:

How to Download ACMarket on PC or Mac:

ACMarket is an Android app store which means, with the help of an Android emulator, you can also run it on your Windows or Mac PC. BlueStacks or Nox Player are the best emulators for this as they are reliable, powerful, free and support both operating systems.

1. Download BlueStacks or Nox Player onto your computer
2. Open the emulator, sign in with your Google account details (sign up for one free if you don’t have a Google account) and leave it to set up
3. Open https://ac-market.org and download the APK file onto your computer
4. Type ACMarket into the emulator search bar and click on the right file
5. Wait – when ACMarket is installed, you can access it through the emulator.

How to Use ACMarket:

Using ACMarket is easy:

1. Open your emulator app and click the ACMarket icon
2. When it opens, find an app or a game that you want and click it
3. Follow any on-screen instructions for installing it and wait – you will see the icon in your emulator app when it has successfully installed.

Fixing ACMarket Errors:

Although ACMarket is reliable, desktop users have reported a couple of errors – these are easy to fix:

ACMarket Not Installed:

There are two reasons why this may happen and two potential solutions:

Method 1: Clear Package Installer Data and Cache

1. Open your Computer Settings and find Apps
2. Tap on System > Package Installer
3. Tap on Clear Data and Clear Cache

Method 2: Clearing Space on Your Computer

The main reason why an app won’t install is not enough space or RAM. First, uninstall apps you don’t use, delete any files you don’t need and place media files onto an external storage device or in cloud storage. Second, ensure that you have at least 2 GB of free RAM.

ACMarket Has Stopped Working:

Again, there could be two reasons for this and two solutions:

Method 1: Reset App Preferences

1. Find the App Manager on your desktop system
2. Click on All Apps
3. Click on Reset App Preferences
4. Click on Reset Now
5. ACMarket should be working again.

If not, try this:

Method 2: Clear Package Installer Data and Cache

1. Open your desktop settings and find the App Manager
2. Click on System Apps
3. Click on Package Installer
4. Click on Clear Data and Clear Cache

These are the two most likely issues you will come across using ACMarket on your desktop.
