Yes, a simple "apt install anbox" just did it for me.

I've needed to do two manual steps:

1) Downloading a blob from https://build.anobox.io.
2) Invoking "service anbox-container-manager restart".

Both were helpfully outlined in README.Debian.

Does not seem to be the case for me.

Cannot help you with that. I have a good package manager already
(apt/dpkg) and refuse to use mediocre one (snap).

Anbox seems to need EGL/x11 to function. That requires:

1) X
2) An access to /dev/dri/* (see above).
3) libEGL.so.1, from mesa project preferably.

Your setup seems to lack something from this list.

Anbox works on i965. Just a hint.
