# MeshChat on Android
|
|
|
|
It's possible to run on Android from source, using [Termux](https://termux.dev/).
|
|
|
|
You will need to install a few extra dependencies and make a change to `requirements.txt`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pkg upgrade
|
|
pkg install git
|
|
pkg install nodejs-lts
|
|
pkg install python-pip
|
|
pkg install rust
|
|
pkg install binutils
|
|
pkg install build-essential
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should now be able to follow the [how to use it](../README.md#how-to-use-it) instructions above.
|
|
|
|
Before running `pip install -r requirements.txt`, you will need to comment out the `cx_freeze` dependency. It failed to build on my Android tablet, and is not actually required for running from source.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nano requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ensure the `cx_freeze` line is updated to `#cx_freeze`
|
|
|
|
> Note: Building wheel for cryptography may take a while on Android.
|
|
|
|
Once MeshChat is running via Termux, open your favourite Android web browser, and navigate to http://localhost:8000
|
|
|
|
> Note: The default `AutoInterface` may not work on your Android device. You will need to configure another interface such as `TCPClientInterface`.
