System requirements Canossian Calendar is an application for smartphones and tablets with the Android operating system (development and tests have been performed on version 7.0 Easter Egg) is therefore not compatible with IOS systems (Iphone) and Windows Phone. 2. How to download the apk The software that can be installed on smartphones and tablets with the Android operating system is provided in installation packages or apk (Android Package Kit): these packages can be published on Google Play Store or on other channels such as social networks or company websites, etc. If a package is not published on Google Play Store, the installation procedure is slightly different because, for security reasons, an additional confirmation is required (see point 3). The packages corresponding to the different versions of the Canossian Calendar can be downloaded at the following web address: the versions available today (8/9/2018) are the one in Italian, the one in English and the one in Spanish shortly French and Portuguese versions will also be available. You can either download the package using the smartphone or tablet on which you want to install the app (recommended) or using a PC connected to the Internet (but in this case you need to copy the apk package on the smarphone or tablet to proceed with the installation ).

2 3. Installation Once the apk package has been downloaded (or copied) to the smartphone or tablet, it is installed in this way 3.1 Security settings As already mentioned above if a package is not installed through Google Play Store, the system could prevent the installation, this is due to the fact that, when an apk package is published on Google Play Store, the content is checked to prevent it from damaging the device on which it is installed. In some cases, depending on the version of Android, the system, as soon as it detects that you are trying to install a package from external source, asks directly to the user if he wants to install this package: just a simple confirmation and installation can proceed. If, on the other hand, the system blocks the installation without giving any further choice, it is advisable to set the smartphone or tablet to also install the apk packages coming from external sources by following these steps Access the Device Settings Access the security section At this point it is possible to proceed with the installation.
