Is termux compatible at all?

[framgena]

I'm totally noob at all this, just wanted to know: is it possible to run on android with termux?:) or not?

It gives errors connected with rust in return, or as result of script as I see.

[Beastwick18]

Termux support should be working, which was resolved in #27. You'd have to build from source, so you'd run something like:

git clone https://github.com/Beastwick18/nyaa
cd nyaa
cargo install --path .

which requires both git and cargo be installed.

And make sure to add to your ~/.bashrc file:

export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"

So that it can find it once installed. You should then be able to run nyaa after restarting your terminal.

[framgena]

Much thanks, but still hasn't working:)

Double checked "git" and"cargo" just in case - everything installed.
What exactly must I do? Step by step preferably.
CD nyaa then "cargo install" and add this
"export PATH="$HOME”... etc" ?

It gives error even after "cargo path". This one

$ cargo install --path
error: a value is required for '--path ' but none was supplied

[Beastwick18]

The first command, git clone https://github.com/Beastwick18/nyaa copies the contents of this repo into the folder nyaa so it can be run.

Then you have to move into that directory to build the app, so cd nyaa

The last command, cargo install --path . (make sure to include the period) builds the app and installs it. However, it installs it to a place your terminal won't be able to find by default. So, we have to edit the configuration for the terminal to find it.

That's when we add export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH" to ~/.bashrc. This makes programs installed by cargo visible to your terminal. You can open up this file for editing by running the command nano ~/.bashrc then typing out that export ... line somewhere towards the end of the file.

Then you should be able to run the command nyaa :)

Much obliged for your help!
I didn't pay much attention to "." at line with "cargo":D
That's the only reason of my failure.
I managed to start it up finally!

But after closing termux app and reopening it -"nyaa" and as "CD nyaa" gives me nothing, so I'm not sure if its installed already to termux "data/data" folder.

Could you please tell me what exactly file in "nano editor" from "nyaa" folder I must edit with these lines? It's "cargo.toml"? I ended with this

.cargo (dir)
.config (dir)
.ssh (dir)
.termux (dir)
nyaa (dir)
rutracker-master (dir)
storage (dir)
.bash_history 981 B
.bashrc Cargo.toml 2 KB
.bashrc.save 67 B

This "bashrc cargo.toml" is a file I edited.

[Beastwick18]

This "bashrc cargo.toml" is a file I edited.

The file should be named .bashrc, without the cargo.toml part. Adding export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH" to it will make it so nyaa will be found by the terminal.

So you could run nano ~/.bashrc, then add export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH" to the file towards the end, then press Ctrl+X to close nano, and press y when it asks if you want to save your changes. Restarting your terminal should reload the .bashrc file.

[framgena]

Damn, it was that easy...:) I just already figured out your "nano -/ bashrc" opens this file directly in nano explorer:D and I must just add that line and overwrite. That's all. Never used "nano" before so it's "clean screen" while file is opened confused me and I decided something was going wrong.

Now nyaa opens flawlessly. Deal with proxy is all what's left to figure out "how". But that's much easier.

Thanks a ton for your patience and help for a total noob like me, Steve! Best wishes and have a nice day!

Good day, Steve! I'm sorry for disturbance again, but one last question, OK?:) Is it possible to download directly, like webtor do, for example? I tried every option in "d", except obvious torrent clients, but nothing downloaded through termux directly or through inner phone "downloads" for example. If it's not possible at all (don't have access to WiFi downloads right now) - well,... :) пт, 22 нояб. 2024 г. в 08:32, Steven Culwell ***@***.***>:

Option 1

If you're fine with downloading directly to your phone, you can just install a torrent client app like Libretorrent.

You'll want to modify the config for nyaa to open magnet links instead of torrent links. You can open the config in nano with:

nano ~/.config/nyaa/config.toml

and look for the line [client.default_app] and modify the line under it from use_magnet = false to use_magnet = true. Save the and close the file with Ctrl+X and y to save changes.

Then you can open nyaa and switch the download client to Default App in nyaa by pressing d and navigating to it and pressing Enter. Now, any time you press enter on any of the torrents, it will open in Libretorrent and start downloading. Once it finishes downloading the torrent, you can open the file.

Option 2

If you would rather open in webtor, the easiest way I can think of doing this would be to modify the Run Command download client. We'll modify it to first copy the torrents magnet link to the clipboard, and then open webtor.io where you can paste the magnet link.

First, you'll have to install termux-api so we can modify the clipboard. You can install it by running the command:

pkg install termux-api

To modify Run Command, you'll have to open the file ~/.config/nyaa/config.toml, which you can open in nano by running:

nano ~/.config/nyaa/config.toml

You'll want to find a line under [client.command] that looks like command="...". You can change it to something like:

command='termux-clipboard-set "{magnet}" && termux-open-url "https://webtor.io"'

(Note that it's '' surrounding the command. This allows "" to be used inside more easily)

Now you can open nyaa, and change the download client to Run Command by pressing d and navigating to it and pressing Enter. Now, any time you press enter on any of the torrents, it will copy the magnet link to your clipboard, and open webtor.io in your browser. Paste the link into webtor and all should work!

Oh... I'm sorry my request makes you write all this detailed, Steve! I hoped for a basic answer:) I got it, so now this application is much convenient way to find and download torrents but not allows to download via 4g through app exactly. OK, I'll continue to use webtor then:) Thank you very much for all your help, have a nice day! сб, 23 нояб. 2024 г. в 19:14, Steven Culwell ***@***.***>:
