<h2>Reticulum on Android<a class="headerlink" href="#reticulum-on-android" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Reticulum can be used on Android in different ways. The easiest way to get
started is using the <a class="reference external" href="https://termux.com/">Termux app</a>, at the time of writing
available on <a class="reference external" href="https://f-droid.org">F-droid</a>. Termux is a terminal emulator and
Linux environment for Android based devices, which includes the ability to use
many different programs and libraries, including Reticulum.</p>
<p>Since the Python cryptography.io module does not offer pre-built wheels for
Android, the standard one-line install of Reticulum does not work on Android,
and a few extra commands are required.</p>
<p>From within Termux, execute the following:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># First, make sure indexes and packages are up to date.</span>
<span class="n">pkg</span> <span class="n">update</span>
<span class="n">pkg</span> <span class="n">upgrade</span>
<span class="c1"># Then install dependencies for cryptography library.</span>

<span class="c1"># Make sure pip is up to date, and install the wheel module.</span>
<span class="n">pip3</span> <span class="n">install</span> <span class="n">wheel</span> <span class="n">pip</span> <span class="o">--</span><span class="n">upgrade</span>
<span class="c1"># Start the install process for the cryptography module.</span>
<span class="c1"># Depending on your device, this can take several minutes,</span>
<span class="c1"># since the module must be compiled locally on your device.</span>
<span class="n">pip3</span> <span class="n">install</span> <span class="n">cryptography</span>
<span class="c1"># If the above installation succeeds, you can now install</span>
<span class="c1"># Reticulum and any related software</span>
<span class="n">pip3</span> <span class="n">install</span> <span class="n">rns</span>
</pre></div>

<p>It is also possible to include Reticulum in apps compiled and distributed as
Android APKs. A detailed tutorial and example source code will be included
here at a later point.</p>
