MeshChatX on Android
It's possible to run MeshChatX on Android using Termux. Installation is now much simpler since the wheel package includes both the server and pre-built web assets.
Method 1: Install from Wheel (Recommended)
This is the easiest method - the wheel includes everything you need.
Install System Dependencies
T282828
pkg upgrade
pkg install python
pkg install rust
pkg install binutils
pkg install build-essential
│ Note: Python 3.11 or higher is required. Check with T383838python --version.
Download and Install Wheel
Download the latest wheel from the releases page, then:
T282828
pip install reticulum_meshchatx-*-py3-none-any.whl
The wheel will automatically install all Python dependencies. Building T383838cryptography may take a while on Android.
Run MeshChatX
T282828
meshchatx
(T383838meshchat is a compatibility alias for the same entry point.)
Then open your Android web browser and navigate to T383838http://localhost:8000
Method 2: Install from Source
If you need to build from source (for development or if no wheel is available for your architecture):
Install System Dependencies
T282828
pkg upgrade
pkg install git
pkg install nodejs-lts
pkg install python
pkg install rust
pkg install binutils
pkg install build-essential
Install pnpm
T282828
corepack enable
corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate
Clone and Build
T282828
git clone https://git.quad4.io/RNS-Things/MeshChatX.git
cd MeshChatX
pip install poetry
poetry install
pnpm install
pnpm run build-frontend
poetry build -f wheel
pip install dist/*.whl
Run MeshChatX
T282828
meshchatx
(T383838meshchat is a compatibility alias for the same entry point.)
Configuration Notes
│ Note: The default T383838AutoInterface may not work on your Android device. You will need to configure
│ another interface such as T383838TCPClientInterface in the settings.
