Unable to Run on Termux

Open aman-boop opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I use debian on termux and i installed pi-apps on it. I was got stuck at preloding app list forever, but it installed. Then i tried to install apps, but nothing work. I tried to install other apps, but same thing happens with them. It opens terminal output, but it nothing comes on it. Please fix this.

Termux is not supported, as we have no way to test Pi-Apps on it.

Pi-Apps is a community project, however. If you are interested in expanding support to include Termux, then consider reading the documentation and poking around through the scripts to find out what the problem is.

Alternatively, you can try to help an existing Pi-Apps dev to investigate the problem on your device, through a TeamViewer connection. I'm not sure if TeamViewer would work on Termux, but it's worth a shot.

I don't think the issue is termux itself, but how users use termux and setup their users.

most people I have seen do everything in termux as ROOT or setup a non-root user account improperly. this leaves them unable to write to the /tmp folder, unable to write to /dev/null /dev/stdout /dev/stderr and other issues
