Error log for install of Node Sqlite on Android

General
1

I have tried to install Sqlite from the pallette and manually with the npm i --unsafe-perm node-red-node-sqlite command into Android via Termux.

Here are the logs. Can anyone assist me in understanding the issue. I am really at a loss how to install this.

I had to truncate the logs. They were quite large but the error "error code ELIFECYCLE" seems to popping up every time I try to load this or other sqlite3 options.

installing sqlite will need to recompile some modules locally on the device. If the build tools for those are not installed it won't install - not tried on termux - but do they have a "build-essential" package ? if not it will be a bit of a slog to work out what is missing and how and if it would work on termux.

Dceeyjay. Thank you for the quick response. I have found this:

There no universal guide about building/porting packages in Termux, especially since Termux isn't a standard platform.

Though you can follow some recommendations mentioned here:

  1. Make sure that minimal set of build tools is installed:

pkg install build-essential

  1. After extracting package source code, check for files named like "README" or "INSTALL". They usually contain information about how to build a package.

  2. Autotools based projects (have ./configure script in project's root) in most cases can be built with the following commands:

./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
make && make install

ref: https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Building_packages

Am I on the right track? Do you know of a how to link that I can read. It is getting late where I am and I will be able to try again tomorrow.

Have you tried installing build-essential and then trying the node install again?

Okay, I have installed build-essential and then actually added the Sqlite files into a folder in the /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.node-red/node_modules/sqlite path.

I have also left the zip file in the /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.node-red/node_modules path.

I see that Sqlite folder has permissions of drwxr-xr-x and the zip file has extension/permission of -rwxrwxrwx. The other folders in the node_modules folder have -drwx permissions

SU is granted to Termux.

I am now trying to research what these permissions do in Node Red. I came to this conclusion as I found an 'access is denied' error in a log on an install attempt.

I have tried the command "SU" in Termux and then tried to run NPM commands but it returns "Not Found".

Anyone with suggestions? I'm happy to try anything. I really am just fumbling through this. I am not worried about security at this stage. This phone is old and has no SIM or personal data and never will.

Update: Trying to install Sqlite again and I now get this permission error:

Okay, I am now looking at SU and I am using Magisk for SU. It offers me a few options.

1. Multiuser mode:
a. Device Owner Only
b. Device Owner Managed
c. User Independent

2. Mount Namespace Mode
a. Global Namespace
b. Inherit Namespace
c. Isolated Namespace

Any ideas if this might be related to the issue. What settings do you suggest?

I am still confused why I am getting a permission error when I try to add the node in the pallette manager, but still get the initial log error when I try to install manually.

I got this working finally. I originally used Magisk for SU and after that wasn't working I attempted to use Firechain's SuperSu which also was not suitable.

After reinstalling Termux and Build Essential, Node Red and Magisk thing still were not working. I found that by installing the sqlite3 package with sudo seemed to work but I can't be 100% sure that was the reason.

Thank for the help. It was a steep learning curve.
