|
|
## Termux
|
|
|
|
This just in: git-annex can be used in Termux, instead of using the Android
|
|
app below. [[Give git-annex in Termux a try|tips/install_on_Android_in_Termux/]]
|
|
|
|
## Android app
|
|
|
|
First, ensure your Android device is configured to allow installation
|
|
of the app. Go to Setup -> Security, and enable "Unknown Sources".
|
|
|
|
Then download the git-annex.apk for your version of Android, and
|
|
open it to install.

## building it yourself
|
|
|
|
git-annex can be built from source for Android.
|
|
|
|
1. Run `standalone/android/buildchroot` as root (requires debootstrap).
|
|
This builds a chroot with a `builder` user.
|
|
The rest of the build will run in this chroot as that user.
|
|
2. In the chroot, run `standalone/android/install-haskell-packages`
|
|
3. Finally, once the chroot is set up, you can build an Android binary
|
|
with `make android`, and `make androidapp` will build the complete APK.
