R in Julia on Android works great :-) (Screenshot)

Having fun with Julia and R setup in Termux on Android with RCall julia library and being able to toggle in between them.

For some reason not able to install.packages in R in Julia but not a big deal since can just install packages in regular R session in Termux on Android.

Fyi :slight_smile:

I remember doing this (at least the Julia part ) circa Julia 1.6, but at some point it stopped working on my device. Is there some documentation of the process online somewhere?

Hi, @kevbonham .

I used the published manual installation suggestions:

And just changed the download package name to correspond to the aarch64 package name on the downloads page

I wasn’t able to install julia using recommended juliaup method (problem compiling on the device) but that might have been because at the time I didn’t have all the gnu build packages properly installed.

Once julia was installed, I was able to use julia’s standard package manager to install RCall and Conda. However, the package manger Pkg did initially have trouble compiling those packages but helpfully suggested I do

Pkg.build("pkgOfInterest")

Which got the julia packages to compile. :slight_smile:
