-#### Building the Project using Android NDK
-You can easily run `llama.cpp` on Android device with [termux](https://termux.dev/).
+#### 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
+```
-First, install the essential packages for termux:
+It's recommended to move your model inside the `~/` directory for best performance:
```
-pkg install clang wget git cmake
+cd storage/downloads
+mv model.gguf ~/
```
-Second, obtain the [Android NDK](https://developer.android.com/ndk) and then build with CMake:
-You can execute the following commands on your computer to avoid downloading the NDK to your mobile. Of course, you can also do this in Termux.
+[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`.

```
$ mkdir build-android
$ cd build-android
$ 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://termux.dev/) on your device and run `termux-setup-storage` to get access to your SD card.
+
+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`)
$./main -m ../model/llama-2-7b-chat.Q4_K_M.gguf -n 128 -cml
```
