Claude Code for Termux/Android ARM64 - with Termux patches.

Install

pkg update && pkg upgrade -y
pkg install nodejs-lts -y
npm install -g @xurxuo/claude-code-termux
claude --version
claude

This package runs a postinstall script that auto-installs required Termux dependencies (glibc-runner, ripgrep, git). The native Claude Code binary is installed or repaired only when you run claude or claude update.

Termux Patches

• Platform detection: android → linux
• Uses @anthropic-ai/claude-code-linux-arm64 native binary
• Launches the native glibc binary through grun on Android
• Compatible with Termux environment

Requirements

• Android ARM64 (aarch64)
• Termux from F-Droid
• Node.js >= 18

Usage

claude              # Start Claude Code
claude --version    # Check version
claude update       # Force update to latest native Claude Code package

The wrapper checks npm at most once per day. If @anthropic-ai/claude-code-linux-arm64 has a newer version, it automatically installs the latest native Claude Code package before launching. The native package uses npm --force because Termux reports os=android while the official binary package is tagged os=linux. Set CLAUDE_CODE_TERMUX_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 to disable the daily check. On Android, the wrapper launches the official glibc binary through grun.

Security Notes

• No npm lifecycle scripts are defined.
• No install-time code runs automatically.
• No runtime dependency packages are bundled.
• The wrapper invokes npm only for explicit update/repair behavior.

Auth

Set your API key:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
