OS/Web Information

• Web Browser: None
• Local OS: None
• Remote OS: Termux (Android 11) on Redmi K40 (alioth)
• Remote Architecture: arm64
• code-server --version: None

Steps to Reproduce

It seems platform-related, as I didn't reproduce it in another phone running Android 9.

yarn global add code-server

Expected

code-server be installed normally.

Actual

Failed after few seconds (before postinstall.sh ran)

Notes

bash postinstall.sh "executes" the script.

/usr/bin/env does not work on this model, while on the other phone it works.

Thank you so much for the detailed investigation and the screenshots! 🙌

I have a Pixel 2 but have not seen this error. The npm_config_user_agent and integer expression expected seem like a good place to start though.

Here is the postinstall.sh script.
@code-asher @oxy any ideas on why this could be happening?

[xiongnemo]

It's a Termux issue. (link)

The package termux-exec did not export the LD_PRELOAD variable on my device so /usr/bin/env won't work on my device.

Thank you so much for your patience and the right Termux on your Pixel 2! 👍

Glad you figured it out! 🙌
