Using Julia on Android?

General Usage
44

When I try for Julia 1.8.0 I get the following:

userland@localhost:~$ wget https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/aarch64/1.2/julia-1.8.5-linux-aarch64.tar.gz                 --2023-04-04 21:07:50--  https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/aarch64/1.2/julia-1.8.5-linux-aarch64.tar.gz

To connect to julialang-s3.julialang.org insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

Then by appending the flag:

Update

The following worked

userland@localhost:~$ wget https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/aarch64/1.8/julia-1.8.5-linux-aarch64.tar.gz --no-check-certificate

(Disclaimer: I’m the developer of Pialytic)
Another option using Julia on Android may be the Android app Pialytic which lets you execute code and generate plots on your device without the need for manual installation using Termux.
If you have existing projects, you can import them from other devices using Git, Dropbox or Box.

@Pia, is there any documentation or video demo for Pialytic?
Thanks.

PS:
And why is the app called that?

I’m curious, is this compiling Julia code or running it by interpreter?

Currently there only exist the screenshots of the app in the store as we’re working on an iOS version of the app. There is a short Help section inside the app with a few examples.
The app itself should be self explanatory: Choose where the projects should be stored (on device or in cloud) - create a project - edit the Julia file and generate the result.

PS: Pialytic stands for Project Integrated Assistant lytic (whatever that means) but we’re happy for any suggestions.

Currently it uses interpreting but there would be no problem providing compiling the code as well. I’ll look into that on how this can be used efficiently.

@Pia, how are packages added and environments managed by Pialytic? In the first test, I could only run a script with Base Julia code.

Currently, we can add all packages a user requests so that they are available for all users immediately but we’re working on the possibility that users can install packages as needed. If you tell use what is missing we’d be happy to install anything that is needed.
