Re: programming/scripting on an Android device - suggestions ?

Eli,

Python, Perl, GCC I have installed. There's few different Lua
packages, but I've never used them. Looks like most recent patch
levels of 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4, plus luajit.

Those work seperate from Termux, or are they a part of it ?   If the

They run inside Termux and operate with the same permissions as Termux.
Termux downloads precompiled binaries for them from a repo server.

Any chance I can download them and than offer them to termux?   You see, I
have a deep-rooted wish to backup stuff like that.   System crashes and all
that.

Install Termux and plugins you want, Termux:API probably at minimum.
Configure your repos,

Thats some sort of Linux inside joke, isn't it ?  "You configure it".  I
have *zero* information on either termux or any of those plugins, but I'm
expected to configure them ?  How ? :-(

The Termux:API stuff allows you to do various Android-y things.

...

I had a script reading the air quality sensor built into the phone
every five minutes using the sensors API.

Yep, thats (in general) what I'm after. :-)


So, any chance that you know of any tutorial in regard to termux and its
(program languages) plugins ?  I don't think I will even /try/ to install it
without having anything to go on.
