Tc9d1d9# MeshChat on Android

It's possible to run on Android from source, using [Tff7b72Termux](Te6edf3https://termux.dev/).

You will need to install a few extra dependencies and make a change to Ta5d6ff`requirements.txt`.

Ta5d6ff```

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 [Tff7b72how to use it](Te6edf3../README.md#how-to-use-it) instructions above.

Before running Ta5d6ff`pip install -r requirements.txt`, you will need to comment out the Ta5d6ff`cx_freeze` dependency. It failed to build on my Android tablet, and is not actually required for running from source.

Ta5d6ff```

nano requirements.txt

```

Ensure the Ta5d6ff`cx_freeze` line is updated to Ta5d6ff`#cx_freeze`

Tff7b72> 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

Tff7b72> Note: The default `AutoInterface` may not work on your Android device. You will need to configure another interface such as `TCPClientInterface`.
