Now git-annex can be used on Android!
[[Documentation for using git-annex on Android|/android]]
## Android app
First, ensure your Android device is configured to allow installation
of the app. Go to Setup -> Security, and enable "Unknown Sources".
[Download the git-annex.apk](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/android/current/)
onto your Android device, and open it to install.
## 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
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 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.
* In `standalone/android/`, run `install-haskell-packages native`
* You also need to install git and all the utilities listed on [[fromscratch]],
on the system doing the building.
* Then to build the full Android app bundle, use `make androidapp`
