Android installation

First download and install termux app in your android device from this link (choose your proper processor architecture):

https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases

Second open the app and update the repositories and install the latest Java and requirements with this command:

pkg update && pkg upgrade && pkg install openjdk-21 git ant which -y

Then clone the repository and build the application:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/yacy/yacy_search_server.git
cd yacy_search_server
ant clean all

To start YaCy, run ./startYACY.sh Upon starting yacy, the browser must launch the search page automatically. Remember to allow termux to Acquire wakelock by clicking on the notification so it doesn't pause. And for a better experience, open the appropiate port on your router's portforward page.

Stop YaCy on the console with ./stopYACY.sh
