WebSocket ScrCpy (ws-scrcpy) With Termux

The installation is quite tricky.

Download Termux

You can choose which termux version, but right now I’m using this.

Installation

The Installation is simple, you just need to this command:

1

pkg update && pkg upgrade -y
pkg install openssl-tool nodejs-lts git python3 build-essential git android-tools -y
git clone https://github.com/NetrisTV/ws-scrcpy
cd ws-scrcpy
npm install -g node-gyp
npm ci
npm run start

Thats all.

Troubleshoot

You may encounter a problem while install, latest version need to install pupeter (the correct name is puppeteer and hard to write) in ws-scrcpy, i dont know why, but quick fix is using .puppeteerrc.cjs for able to install pupeter, you may take a look example usage from https://github.com/anasfanani/ilmupedia-auto-buy/blob/main/.puppeteerrc.cjs

Create a new file in ws-scrcpy folder named as .puppeteerrc.cjs and fill with:

const { join } = require('path');

let config = {};

if (process.env.PREFIX === '/data/data/com.termux/files/usr') {
    config.executablePath = '/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/chromium-browser';
}

config.cacheDirectory = join(__dirname, '.cache', 'puppeteer');

/**
 * @type {import("puppeteer").Configuration}
 */
module.exports = config;

Before run npm ci again, you need to run this command first:

Then run npm ci again.
