# Termux
|
|
|
|
Termux is an Android terminal application and Linux environment, which can also run code-server from your phone.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Install Termux from [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/)
|
|
2. Make sure it's up-to-date by running `apt update && apt upgrade`
|
|
3. Install required packages: `apt install build-essential python git nodejs yarn`
|
|
4. Install code-server: `yarn global add code-server`
|
|
5. Run code-server: `code-server` and navigate to localhost:8080 in your browser
|
|
|
|
## Upgrading
|
|
|
|
To upgrade run: `yarn global upgrade code-server --latest`
|
|
|
|
## Known Issues
|
|
|
|
### Search issue
|
|
|
|
There is a known issue with search not working on Android because it's missing `bin/rg`. To fix:
|
|
|
|
1. Install `ripgrep` with `pkg`
|
|
```sh
|
|
pkg install ripgrep
|
|
```
|
|
2. Make a soft link using `ln -s`
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# run this command inside the code-server directory
|
|
ln -s $PREFIX/bin/rg ./lib/vscode/node_modules/vscode-ripgrep/bin/rg
|
|
```

|
### Backspace not working
|
|
|
|
There is a known issue with the backspace key not working correctly when using the on-screen keyboard on Android. This is due to an upstream issue. Read more:

Workaround #1: Modify Keyboard Dispatch Settings
|
|
|
|
1. Open the Command Palette
|
|
2. Search for "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)"
|
|
3. Add `"keyboard.dispatch": "keyCode"`
|
|
|
|
The backspace button should work now.
|
|
(Thanks to @Nefomemes for the suggestion! See [comment](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1141#issuecomment-789463707))

|
|
Workaround #2: use a Bluetooth keyboard.
