Readme
Requirements
- Termux from F-Droid (Play Store builds are outdated)
- aarch64 (ARM64) device — the only architecture Cline ships a Linux build for
- An internet connection for the ~50 MB download
Installation
One line — zero prerequisites:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rexroze/cline-termux/main/install.sh | shOr via npm (needs nodejs first):
pkg install nodejs-lts
npm i -g cline-termux[!TIP]
clineis on your PATH immediately — the first run downloads the official binary (~50 MB) and configures your shell (bash, zsh, or fish).
Usage
clineFirst run asks you to log in or set an API key.
Pin a specific version:
sh install.sh -v 3.0.61Other flags: --no-download (repair launcher only), --uninstall.
How it works
Cline ships Bun-compiled standalone binaries (glibc-linked); Termux runs on
bionic. This project downloads the @cline/cli-linux-arm64 binary directly
from the npm registry (bypassing npm's platform block on Termux) and bridges
it through Termux's native glibc package — official upstream binaries,
nothing patched, nothing emulated. Same pattern as claude-code-termux.
