== GNURoot Octave == | |||
The Android app [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gnuroot.octave GNURoot Octave] in the Google play store is built and maintained by Corbin Champion. However, note that these repositories have not been updated for several years. It is not part of the GNU Octave project. Thus please use the following GitHub pages for questions and bug reports: | |||
* https://github.com/corbinlc/GNURootDebian | |||
* https://github.com/corbinlc/octave4android | |||
The implementation has been done in close cooperation with the Octave developers and makes use of the Octave source code without essential changes. Thus, it is fully compatible with the versions of Octave on other platforms. | |||
Some probably outdated build instructions for the older "octave4android" app: | |||

# If you want to use Qt graphics it will take some work, and may or may not be possible. It has not been tested by anyone. You will need to download the package [https://github.com/termux/libandroid-shmem libandroid-shmem], get it working, and then recompile Octave linking to this library. There are more detailed instructions regarding the compilation on the github website. | # If you want to use Qt graphics it will take some work, and may or may not be possible.

== | == Octave on Termux == | ||
[https://termux.com Termux] is a Terminal Emulator for Android. You can install it from [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux Play store] or [https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.termux F-Droid]. | |||
You can directly install Octave in Termux using the repository by [https://github.com/its-pointless/gcc_termux its-pointless]. | |||
<code> | |||
wget https://its-pointless.github.io/setup-pointless-repo.sh | |||
</code> | |||
<code> | |||
sh setup-pointless-repo.sh | |||
</code> | |||
<code> | |||
apt install octave | |||
</code> | |||
However, graphics capabilities are not available in this. | |||
== Octave running in a Distro in Termux == | |||
You can [https://github.com/EXALAB/AnLinux-App install a distro] like Debian, Ubuntu, Arch or Alpine (this consumes less disk space), and then install Octave from the package manager of that distro. You can also install desktop environments with the Anlinux app, and use VNC Server to use Octave's graphical capabilities. In many android devices, only the graphics toolkit "gnuplot" works. | |||
