that's pretty awesome. Anyone here knows how I could install this in termux on my android?



I tried it this morning (lineageOS). Got the arm binary from github, `chmod +x`-ed it on my computer and scp:ed it over to my phone. Ran the binary and got a quick flash of the screen and a `exit status 1`.

Have not looked into it more than that. Since `browsh` depends on headless firefox, which is not in the termux default repository (it seems), I guess it won't work because termux does not have access to the firefox system app, if that even shits with the headless-functionality. (but here I'm just guessing, a work around may be available)

Would be cool to see working though.


thanks for the details. they saved me some troubles. too bad it (apparently) doesn't work. At least they do have good 'ol lynx in their repository :)


I haven't really made it clear enough in the docs yet, but Browsh is meant to be run on a remote server and then accessed over SSH/Mosh or the HTML service. So there's not much advantage to overcoming the hurdles to getting running on Android. You should just SSH or better yet Mosh to access a remote version of Browsh.
