Running CDL on Android

Cyberdrop-dl is a terminal app. That means you need a terminal emulator to run it. The defacto choice in Android is termux.

Most of the dependencies need to be compiled from source. A rust compiler is required. This means the installation could take several minutes, especially on low end phones

Compiling from source also requires a lot of extra storage. You will need at least 3.4GB just for the installation of CDL

1. Install termux

Termux wiki: https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Installation
