node.js npm on Android
android, node.js, npm
Solution
I played with termux (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux&hl=en_US). In terminal you can install node.js and npm. I installed some packages from npm storage. Seems I did not found any problem. Especially if we are using samsung dex station.
ps probebly I downloaded modules via git from github. Not sure about npm.
Problem
I built node.js for android and it is running great. Now i need some modules for a new project (serialport,express,socket.io) but I can't use npm on my android device, since i cross compiled node and just put the executable on the device. Is there a way to use npm on android or what would be the best way to do it? I also tried building the packages on an arm qemu but the modules weren't working o the android box. What I am trying to do at the moment is including the modules as core modules when building node, but I am unsure what to include. All modules and all the modules that those modules depend on, etc. etc. This doesn't sound right? I am following these instructions, that were for a similar problem: https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/wiki/Building-for-Android What would be the best way to achieve it? Kind regards, egon
