## prebuilt tarball
## android app
Download the [prebuilt tarball](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/android/).
Instructions below assume it was downloaded to `/sdcard/Download`, which
is the default if you use the web browser for the download.
First, ensure your Android device is configured to allow installation of
non-Market apps. Go to Setup -> Security -> and enable "Unknown Sources".
To use this tarball, you need to install either
[KBOX](http://kevinboone.net/kbox.html) or
[Terminal IDE](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spartacusrex.spartacuside)
(available in Google Play).
This is both to get a shell console, as well as a location under
`/data` where git-annex can be installed.
Download the [git-annex.apk](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/android/current/)
onto your Android device, and open it to install.
Open the console app you installed, and enter this command:
cd $(which sh)/..; tar xf /sdcard/Download/git-annex-android.tar.gz
Now git-annex is installed, but to use it you need to enter a special
shell environment:
runshell
Now you have git-annex, git, and some other utilities available, and can
do everything in the [[walkthrough]] and more.
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.

yet an easy process.
You also need to install git and all the utilities listed on [[fromscratch]].
Then to build the full Android app bundle, use `make androidapp`. You will
need to have the Android SDK and NDK installed; edit
`standalone/android/Makefile` to configure the paths to them.
