git-annex can be used on Android, however you need to know your way around
|
||||
the command line to install and use it. (An Android app may be developed
|
||||
eventually.)
|
||||
|
||||
## prebuilt tarball
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
## building it yourself
|
||||
|
||||
git-annex can be built for Android, with `make android`.
|
||||
You need <https://github.com/neurocyte/ghc-android> installed first,
|
||||
and also have to `cabal install` all necessary dependencies. This is not
|
||||
yet an easy process.
|
||||
|
||||
You also need to install git and all the utilities listed on [[fromscratch]].
|

@ -6,6 +6,9 @@ This tarball should work on most Linux systems. It does not depend
|
|||
on anything except for glibc.
|
||||
|
||||
[download tarball](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To use, just unpack the tarball, `cd git-annex.linux` and run `./runshell`
|
||||
-- this sets up an environment where you can use `git annex`
|
||||
|
||||
Warning: This is a last resort. Most Linux users should instead
|
||||
[[install]] git-annex from their distribution of choice.
