Re: [vile] Vile in termux

Oh, forgot a few details.  You have to set TMPDIR to someplace you can
access, no /tmp and /usr/local isn't available for installs, you have
to point that somewhere and create the bin, share directories, etc.

I imagine one could figure out how to build a package for installation
with their package manager...
