Installing Tavern+OAI on Android with Userland

Getting the files

First off download the TavernAI zip from the github and extract it anywhere, then complete this fun puzzle for the mod files, don't worry it's easy

Once you have the file extract and replace the files in the root of the TavernAI files you just got from github, pick either the default theme or the roko theme depending on which you like more, there's no difference besides aesthetics.

Finally download the modifed style.css zip from here, make sure you pick the same theme you picked in the last step and drag the public folder into the root of TavernAI files

Setting up Userland

Userland is a FOSS Linux compatibility layer, it allows you to run some Linux software on Android
First install it from either Google Play or F-Droid then start it up and select Ubuntu > Terminal and wait a small eternity for it to drop you in the shell

Copying the files over to Userland

In Android 10 Google once again decided to lock down Android by restricting access to the /Android/data folder so this will be more annoying than it used to be, the best ways to get the files where we need them is either through root access, their custom document provider as seen here (didn't work for me) or by plugging your phone into your PC and dragging the TavernAI folder into /Android/data/tech.ula/files/storage

Installing dependencies and starting Tavern

Simply run these commands in order inside Userland:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install npm
npm install -g n
n stable
cp -r /storage/internal/[put your tavern dir here]/ ~/
Don't use mv here only cp, mv breaks something for some reason
cd ~/[put your tavern dir here]
rm -r node_modules
yes | rm -r ~/.npm/_cacache/*
Ignore the pipe error, it's normal
npm cache clean --force
npm install express
Here express will either install fine or break no clue why it just works for some but not others, if it breaks just restart userland, run the previous "yes | rm" and "npm cache" commands and try installing it again it should work the second or third time, now that express is installed, whenever you want to launch the TavernAI server, simply start up userland and:
cd ~/[put your tavern dir here]
node server.js

Happy Cooming!

Start it up, put in in your API key and go to town, to add characters just move them into /Android/data/tech.ula/files/storage however you want and import them, don't forget to set your sliders
