## Android

Android support is still experimental in Node.js, so precompiled binaries are not yet provided by Node.js developers.

However, there are some third-party solutions. For example, [Termux](https://termux.com/) community provides terminal emulator and Linux environment for Android, as well as own package manager and [extensive collection](https://github.com/termux/termux-packages) of many precompiled applications. These commands in Termux app will install the last LTS or a current Node.js version respectively:

```bash
pkg install nodejs
pkg install nodejs-current
```

Currently, Termux Node.js binaries are compiled without ICU and Inspector support.

## Arch Linux

Node.js and npm packages are available in the Community Repository.
