How to install Micro G on Tab S6 (lemmy.ca)

I just installed Lineage OS on an old Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. Turns out I need MicroG to make one app work (Clip studio Paint). This is my second Lineage install, so while familiar, I am still new to it. Do I have to re install the Lineage fork with Microg found here from scratch? Or is there a way to get MicroG with the existing lineage installed?

Usually you just need to install microG services (and the microG companion if needed) from their F-Droid repo.

Learned how adding Repos to F-Droid works, so this was simple (once I sussed it out 😅 Ah being a beginner). Thanks!

This whole system of custom repos does indeed need a bit of work to make it more intuitive imo. Some F-Droid clients like Droid-ify fortunately make this a bit easier by already providing some popular repos (including microG) that you just have to enable.

Glad you figured it out, though 😊
