Reticulum on Android
==============================================
Reticulum can be used on Android in different ways. The easiest way to get
started is using the `Termux app <https://termux.com/>`_, at the time of writing
available on `F-droid <https://f-droid.org>`_. Termux is a terminal emulator and
Linux environment for Android based devices, which includes the ability to use
many different programs and libraries, including Reticulum.
Since the Python cryptography.io module does not offer pre-built wheels for
Android, the standard one-line install of Reticulum does not work on Android,
and a few extra commands are required.
From within Termux, execute the following:
.. code::
# First, make sure indexes and packages are up to date.
pkg update
pkg upgrade
# Then install dependencies for cryptography library.
pkg install python build-essential openssl libffi rust
# Make sure pip is up to date, and install the wheel module.
pip3 install wheel pip --upgrade
# Start the install process for the cryptography module.
# Depending on your device, this can take several minutes,
# since the module must be compiled locally on your device.
pip3 install cryptography
# If the above installation succeeds, you can now install
# Reticulum and any related software
pip3 install rns
It is also possible to include Reticulum in apps compiled and distributed as
Android APKs. A detailed tutorial and example source code will be included
here at a later point.

Reticulum should currently be considered beta software. All core protocol features are implemented and functioning, but additions will probably occur as real-world use is explored. There will be bugs. The API and wire-format can be considered relatively stable at the moment, but could change if warranted.
Caveat Emptor
==============
Reticulum is an experimental networking stack, and should be considered as such. While it has been built with cryptography best-practices very foremost in mind, it has not been externally security audited, and there could very well be privacy-breaking bugs. To be considered secure, Reticulum needs a thourough security review by independt cryptographers and security researchers. If you want to help out, or help sponsor an audit, please do get in touch.
