 | |
| ## Build on Android using Termux
 | |
| [Termux](https://github.com/termux/termux-app#installation) is a method to execute `llama.cpp` on an Android device (no root required).
 | |
| ```
 | |
| apt update && apt upgrade -y
 | |
| apt install git make cmake
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| It's recommended to move your model inside the `~/` directory for best performance:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| cd storage/downloads
 | |
| mv model.gguf ~/
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| [Get the code](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp#get-the-code) & [follow the Linux build instructions](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp#build) to build `llama.cpp`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Building the Project using Android NDK
 | |
| Obtain the [Android NDK](https://developer.android.com/ndk) and then build with CMake.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Execute the following commands on your computer to avoid downloading the NDK to your mobile. Alternatively, you can also do this in Termux:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| $ mkdir build-android
 | |
| $ cd build-android
 | |
| $ export NDK=<your_ndk_directory>
 | |
| $ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$NDK/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake -DANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a -DANDROID_PLATFORM=android-23 -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-march=armv8.4a+dotprod ..
 | |
| $ make
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Install [termux](https://github.com/termux/termux-app#installation) on your device and run `termux-setup-storage` to get access to your SD card (if Android 11+ then run the command twice).
 | |
| 
 | |
| Finally, copy these built `llama` binaries and the model file to your device storage. Because the file permissions in the Android sdcard cannot be changed, you can copy the executable files to the `/data/data/com.termux/files/home/bin` path, and then execute the following commands in Termux to add executable permission:
 | |
| 
 | |
| (Assumed that you have pushed the built executable files to the /sdcard/llama.cpp/bin path using `adb push`)
 | |
| ```
 | |
| $cp -r /sdcard/llama.cpp/bin /data/data/com.termux/files/home/
 | |
| $cd /data/data/com.termux/files/home/bin
 | |
| $chmod +x ./*
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Download model [llama-2-7b-chat.Q4_K_M.gguf](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Llama-2-7B-Chat-GGUF/blob/main/llama-2-7b-chat.Q4_K_M.gguf), and push it to `/sdcard/llama.cpp/`, then move it to `/data/data/com.termux/files/home/model/`
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| $mv /sdcard/llama.cpp/llama-2-7b-chat.Q4_K_M.gguf /data/data/com.termux/files/home/model/
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Now, you can start chatting:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| $cd /data/data/com.termux/files/home/bin
 | |
| $./llama-cli -m ../model/llama-2-7b-chat.Q4_K_M.gguf -n 128 -cml
 | |
| ```
