Termux is an Android terminal application and Linux environment, which can also run code-server from your phone.
## Installation
1. Install Termux from the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux&hl=en_US&gl=US)
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

## 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`
# run this command inside the code-server directory
ln -s $PREFIX/bin/rg ./lib/vscode/node_modules/vscode-ripgrep/bin/rg
