Correct way of adding to waydroid?

I'm trying to add gapps, libndk, widevine and smartdock to Waydroid. I've tried:

- clearing all directories and using

-s gapps

-s gapps

to initialise with gapps,
- using the waydroid-script main.py install method (system is ofc read only, so that doesn't work past unzipping gapps),
- adding

/home/<name>/waydroid_script/venv/bin/python3 /home/<name>/waydroid_script/main.py install {gapps,etc,etc}

/home/<name>/waydroid_script/venv/bin/python3 /home/<name>/waydroid_script/main.py install {gapps,etc,etc}

to the system.yaml,
- copying exactly what is shown in the screenshot in the blend-os post-install guide.

So far, none of these have resulted in waydroid having gapps or anything else. Is there a better method?
I installed waydroid-script as per the install instructions on GitHub, and I have noticed that the screenshot in the blend-os post-install guide shows a completely different location for the waydroid script.
I have tried both, and still no success.

I notice that when following exactly what is shown on the guide under Waydroid, I recieve this error during akshara update:

ERROR: Cannot locate waydroid config file, reinit wayland and try again!

ERROR: Cannot locate waydroid config file, reinit wayland and try again!

Solution

So I just did

sudo rm -r /var/lib/waydroid 
sudo rm -r /home/.waydroid
sudo rm -r /home/$USER/waydroid
sudo rm -r /home/$USER/share/waydroid
sudo rm -r /home/$USER/.local/share/waydroid

sudo rm -r /var/lib/waydroid 
sudo rm -r /home/.waydroid
sudo rm -r /home/$USER/waydroid
sudo rm -r /home/$USER/share/waydroid
sudo rm -r /home/$USER/.local/share/waydroid

Then I did

sudo waydroid init -s GAPPS

sudo waydroid init -s GAPPS

(which didnt do anything). Opened Blend Settings and reinitialised waydroid.
Akshara gave me another error.
I then ran

python /opt/waydroid-script/main.py

python /opt/waydroid-script/main.py

from the home directory, selected gapps, and this time it worked.
