## Install
|
|
|
|
1. Get [Termux](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/) from **F-Droid**.
|
|
2. Run `pkg install tur-repo`
|
|
3. Run `pkg install code-server`
|
|
4. You can now start code server by simply running `code-server`.
|
|
|
|
## NPM Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Get [Termux](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/) from **F-Droid**.
|
|
|
|
2. We will now change using the following command.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
termux-change-repo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now select `Main Repository` then change repo to `Mirrors by Grimler Hosted on grimler.se`.
|
|
|
|
3. After successfully updating of repository update and upgrade all the packages by the following command
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pkg update
|
|
pkg upgrade -y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Now let's install requirement dependancy.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pkg install -y \
|
|
build-essential \
|
|
binutils \
|
|
pkg-config \
|
|
python3 \
|
|
nodejs-lts
|
|
npm config set python python3
|
|
node -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
you will get Node version `v18`
|
|
|
|
5. Now install code-server following our guide on [installing with npm](./npm.md)
|
|
|
|
6. Congratulation code-server is installed on your device using the following command.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
code-server --auth none
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
7. If already installed then use the following command for upgradation.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm update --global code-server --unsafe-perm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Upgrade
|
|
|
|
1. Remove all previous installs `rm -rf ~/.local/lib/code-server-*`
|
|
2. Run the install script again `curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh`
|
|
|
|
## Known Issues
|
|
|
|
### Git won't work in `/sdcard`
|
|
|
|
Issue : Using git in the `/sdcard` directory will fail during cloning/commit/staging/etc...\
|
|
Fix : None\
|
|
Potential Workaround :
|
|
|
|
1. Create a soft-link from the debian-fs to your folder in `/sdcard`
|
|
2. Use git from termux (preferred)
|
|
|
|
### Many extensions including language packs fail to install
|
|
|
|
Issue: Android is not seen as a Linux environment but as a separate, unsupported platform, so code-server only allows [Web Extensions](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/web-extensions), refusing to download extensions that run on the server.\
|
|
Fix: None\
|
|
Potential workarounds :
|
|
|
|
Either
|
|
|
|
- Manually download extensions as `.vsix` file and install them via `Extensions: Install from VSIX...` in the Command Palette.
|
|
|
|
- Use an override to pretend the platform is Linux:
|
|
|
|
Create a JS script that patches `process.platform`:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// android-as-linux.js
|
|
Object.defineProperty(process, "platform", {
|
|
get() {
|
|
return "linux"
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then use Node's `--require` option to make sure it is loaded before `code-server` starts:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
NODE_OPTIONS="--require /path/to/android-as-linux.js" code-server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
⚠️ Note that Android and Linux are not 100% compatible, so use these workarounds at your own risk. Extensions that have native dependencies other than Node or that directly interact with the OS might cause issues.
|
|
|
|
## Extra
|
|
|
|
### Keyboard Shortcuts and Tab Key
|
|
|
|
In order to support the tab key and use keyboard shortcuts, add this to your
|
|
settings.json:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"keyboard.dispatch": "keyCode"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Create a new user
|
|
|
|
To create a new user follow these simple steps -
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new user by running `useradd <username> -m`.
|
|
2. Change the password by running `passwd <username>`.
|
|
3. Give your new user sudo access by running `visudo`, scroll down to `User privilege specification` and add the following line after root `username ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL`.
|
|
4. Now edit the `/etc/passwd` file with your command line editor of choice and at the end of the line that specifies your user change `/bin/sh` to `/bin/bash`.
|
|
5. Now switch users by running `su - <username>`
|
|
|
|
- Remember the `-` betweeen `su` and username is required to execute `/etc/profile`,\
|
|
since `/etc/profile` may have some necessary things to be executed you should always add a `-`.
|
|
|
|
### Install Go
|
|
|
|
> From https://golang.org/doc/install
|
|
|
|
1. Go to https://golang.org/dl/ and copy the download link for `linux arm` and run the following:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
wget download_link
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Extract the downloaded archive. (This step will erase all previous GO installs, make sure to create a backup if you have previously installed GO)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rm -rf /usr/local/go && tar -C /usr/local -xzf archive_name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Run `nano /etc/profile` and add the following line `export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin`.
|
|
4. Now run `exit` (depending on if you have switched users or not, you may have to run `exit` multiple times to get to normal termux shell) and start Debian again.
|
|
5. Check if your install was successful by running `go version`
|
|
|
|
### Install Python
|
|
|
|
> Run these commands as root
|
|
|
|
1. Run the following commands to install required packages to build python:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev \
|
|
libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm \
|
|
libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libxml2-dev libxmlsec1-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Install [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/) from [pyenv-installer](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer) by running:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -L https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer/raw/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Run `nano /etc/profile` and add the following:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export PYENV_ROOT="/root/.pyenv"
|
|
export PATH="/root/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
|
|
eval "$(pyenv init --path)"
|
|
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Exit and start Debian again.
|
|
5. Run `pyenv versions` to list all installable versions.
|
|
6. Run `pyenv install version` to install the desired python version.
|
|
> The build process may take some time (an hour or 2 depending on your device).
|
|
7. Run `touch /root/.pyenv/version && echo "your_version_here" > /root/.pyenv/version`
|
|
8. (You may have to start Debian again) Run `python3 -V` to verify if PATH works or not.
|
|
> If `python3` doesn't work but pyenv says that the install was successful in step 6 then try running `$PYENV_ROOT/versions/your_version/bin/python3`.
