# Claude Code for Termux
Run [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) CLI on Android via Termux.
## Why
Claude Code v2.1.113+ switched to native binaries, breaking Termux/Android compatibility. This repo provides:
- **v2.1.112** (last pure Node.js release) with auto-update protection
- **termux-chroot wrapper** that fixes the `/tmp` permission issue
- **mDNS resolver** for SSH without hardcoded IPs
- **Safe updater** that respects the version ceiling
## Requirements
- [Termux](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/) (F-Droid recommended)
- Android 10+ (ARM64)
- ~500MB free storage
- An Anthropic API key or Claude subscription
## Quick Install
```bash
git clone <your-gitea-url>/andres/claude-code-termux.git
cd claude-code-termux
bash install.sh
```
Or dry-run first:
```bash
bash install.sh --dry-run
```
## What Gets Installed
| Component | Location | Purpose |
|-----------|----------|---------|
| Claude Code v2.1.112 | npm global | The CLI itself |
| `clauded` | `~/.local/bin/` | Wrapper with termux-chroot for /tmp |
| `claude-check-env` | `~/.local/bin/` | Environment validator |
| `claude-update` | `~/.local/bin/` | Safe updater (ceiling-aware) |
| `mdns-resolve` | `~/.local/bin/` | Pure Python mDNS resolver |
| `ssh-mdns-proxy` | `~/.local/bin/` | SSH ProxyCommand with mDNS+Tailscale |
| `settings.json` | `~/.claude/` | Disables auto-updater |
## Usage
```bash
# Start Claude Code (always use this, not `claude` directly)
clauded
# Check environment
claude-check-env
# Update (safe, respects version ceiling)
claude-update
```
## SSH with Dynamic Resolution
The included `ssh-mdns-proxy` resolves hostnames via mDNS first, then Tailscale DNS, then cache. See `config/ssh_config.example` for setup.
```bash
# Set your Tailscale domain (optional, has a default)
export TAILSCALE_DOMAIN="your-tailnet.ts.net"
```
## Version Ceiling
**v2.1.112 is the last compatible version.** Starting v2.1.113, Claude Code ships native binaries requiring glibc/musl linkers that don't exist on Android (Bionic libc).
`claude-update` enforces this automatically. See `docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md` for details.
## Troubleshooting
See [docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md](docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md) for:
- `/tmp` permission errors
- Native binary errors
- Auto-updater issues
- SSH resolution problems
