Please help: I can't install on my phone

[CFSO6459]

I tried to install tgcf on my Android phone using Termux, but it's not successful.

I followed the instruction from here, and every command before pip install --upgrade tgcf has no problem.

My phone is Samsung S6 Edge, running Android 5.1.1.

Termux version is: termux-app_v0.118.0+d7bab73-apt-android-5-github-debug_universal

Here is the error message:

`

Run python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel, after that try to install again tgcf.

Hi there, after some digging, I managed to install tgcf on Termux v0.118.0 downloaded from the GitHub. There are two ways you can install tgcf on a clean install of Termux. The first one uses proot-distro that simulates the Linux environment. Make sure to enter those commands line by line according to your chosen method.

1. Installing on Termux using proot-distro:

pkg upgrade # 'Y' all the way (package maintainer version)
pkg install proot-distro
proot-distro install debian
proot-distro login debian
apt update && apt upgrade 
apt install python3 python3-pip python3-venv 

# Proceeds normal installation:
mkdir tgcf && cd tgcf
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install tgcf

Note: Debian requires tgcf to be installed inside virtual environments, if this doesn't suit your needs then you could try other distros provided by the proot-distro package. Always remember to login to the proot distro every time Termux restarts.

2. Installing locally on Termux:

pkg upgrade # 'Y' all the way (package maintainer version)
pkg install tur-repo
pkg install python python-numpy binutils rust python-pyarrow libjpeg-turbo python-pandas

# Just 'pip install tgcf' OR:
mkdir tgcf && cd tgcf
python3 -m venv --system-site-packages .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install tgcf

Comparing the first and the second method:

proot-distro

• Easier to install.
• Commands and steps are easier to remember.
• More manageable as we can just remove the distro if anything goes wrong e.g. proot-distro remove debian and reinstall.

Local Termux

• Commands and steps are confusing, hard to remember and prone to change in the future (hopefully not).
• Better performance, although not tested.

That being said, you can choose any way you prefer.

@aahnik I hope this quide can be placed inside the wiki, if it helps 😄.
