🤖 claude-code-termux - Run Claude AI tools on Android

This project allows you to run the Claude Code command line tool on your Android device. It uses the Termux environment to provide a functional workspace. You do not need to root your phone to use this software. This guide explains how to set up the environment and start the application.

📱 System Requirements

You need a device with an arm64 processor. Most modern Android phones meet this standard. Ensure you have at least 500 MB of free storage space. You must install the Termux app from the F-Droid store before you begin. Do not use the version from the Google Play Store, as it no longer receives updates.

📥 Downloading the Tool

Visit the link below to find the current version of the software. Choose the latest release package on the page.

⚙️ Setting Up Termux

Open the Termux app on your phone. You will see a black screen with a blinking cursor. This is the terminal. You must type commands here to prepare your device.

Update your package list by typing: pkg update && pkg upgrade. Press Enter.
Grant storage access by typing: termux-setup-storage. Press Enter. A prompt will appear on your screen. Select Allow.
Install the basic tools needed to run this script by typing: pkg install curl wget. Press Enter.

🚀 Installation Process

Once the basic tools are ready, download the installer script. Copy the command below and paste it into your Termux window.

curl -LO https://github.com/Quadraticdakota57/claude-code-termux/raw/main/install.sh

After the download finishes, run the installer by typing:

bash install.sh

The script will handle the complex parts of the setup. It configures the bridge between the Android system and the Claude tool. It also fixes network settings that often fail on mobile devices. Stay in the app while the script runs.

🛠️ Using the Tool

Once the installer finishes, you can start the application. Type the following command in Termux:

claude-code

The first time you run this, the system will ask for your Anthropic API key. You can create this key on your account dashboard at the official Anthropic website. Copy your key and paste it into the terminal when prompted. Your key stays on your device.

🧩 How It Works

Standard software for computers does not always work on Android. Android uses different rules for how programs talk to the hardware. This tool uses a bridge to translate those rules. The glibc-runner component allows the software to think it is running on a standard Linux computer. The DNS fix ensures the tool can find the internet connection when your phone hides its network configuration files.

💡 Troubleshooting Common Issues

If the program fails to start, verify your internet connection. Type ping google.com in Termux to check if your network allows external requests.

If you see a permission error, ensure you ran the termux-setup-storage command mentioned in the setup section.

If the screen hangs during the first run, close the Termux app completely and open it again. This clears stuck processes.

📋 Keeping Updated

Check the release page periodically for new versions. Developers update the tool to match changes in the official Claude Code software. When you see a new version, repeat the download and installation steps to overwrite your old files with the latest improvements.

🔒 Security Notes

This tool runs entirely on your phone. Your data remains in your control. The code connects to Anthropic servers to process your requests, but it does not send your personal phone files to external services. Always keep your API key private. Do not share your terminal logs with others if they contain your secret keys.
