Hi folks, I am running termux on an android tablet and really have no idea how to get Julia installed on it. Any suggestions on what to do? I googled and found some information about installing a Linux version onto termux but that seems too complicated — is there a simpler way to use Julia on Termu…

I had to setup a psuedo-root with a full Linux runtime environment. See GitHub - termux/proot-distro: An utility for managing installations of the Linux distributions in Termux.
