First, ensure your Android device is configured to allow installation of
2013-02-26 04:03:55 +00:00
non-Market apps. Go to Setup -> Security, and enable "Unknown Sources".

onto your Android device, and open it to install.

When you start the Git Annex app, it will dump you into terminal. From
here, you can run git-annex, as well as many standard git and unix commands
provided with the app. You can do everything in the [[walkthrough]] and
more.
## autobuilds
A daily build is also available.
* [download apk](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/autobuild/android/git-annex.apk) ([build logs](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/autobuild/android/))

## building it yourself
2013-03-01 05:27:56 +00:00
git-annex can be built for Android, with `make android`. It's not an easy
process:
* First, install <https://github.com/neurocyte/ghc-android>.
* You also need to install git and all the utilities listed on [[fromscratch]],
on the system doing the building.
* Use ghc-android's cabal to install all necessary dependencies.
Some packages will fail to install on Android; patches to fix them
are in `standalone/android/haskell-patches/`
* You will need to have the Android SDK and NDK installed; see
`standalone/android/Makefile` to configure the paths to them. You'll also
need ant, and the JDK.
* Then to build the full Android app bundle, use `make androidapp`
