Now git-annex can be used on Android!

[[Documentation for using git-annex on Android|/android]]

## Android app

First, ensure your Android device is configured to allow installation
of the app. Go to Setup -> Security, and enable "Unknown Sources".

Then download the git-annex.apk for your version of Android, and 
open it to install.

* [Android 5.0 git-annex.apk](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/android/current/5.0/git-annex.apk)
* [Android 4.4 and 4.3 git-annex.apk](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/android/current/4.3/git-annex.apk)
* [Android 4.0 to 4.2 git-annex.apk](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/android/current/4.0/git-annex.apk)

## autobuilds

A daily build is also available, thanks to Mesar Hameed and the University
of Bath CS department.

* [Android 5.0 git-annex.apk](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/autobuild/android/5.0/git-annex.apk)
* [Android 4.4 and 4.3 git-annex.apk](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/autobuild/android/4.3/git-annex.apk)
* [Android 4.0 to 4.2 git-annex.apk](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/autobuild/android/4.0/git-annex.apk)
* [build logs](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/autobuild/android/)

## building it yourself

git-annex can be built from source for Android.

1. Run `standalone/android/buildchroot` as root (requires debootstrap).
   This builds a chroot with a `builder` user.
   The rest of the build will run in this chroot as that user.
2. In the chroot, run `standalone/android/install-haskell-packages`
3. Finally, once the chroot is set up, you can build an Android binary
   with `make android`, and `make androidapp` will build the complete APK.
