git-annex can be used on Android, however you need to know your way around
|
|
the command line to install and use it. (Hope to get the webapp working eventually.)
|
|
|
|
## android app
|
|
|
|
First, ensure your Android device is configured to allow installation of
|
|
non-Market apps. 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## 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]].
|
|
|
|
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.
