 "title": "Run Linux commands and scripts on your phone",
 "page_title": "How to run Linux commands and scripts on your phone with Mobile Harness",
 "summary": "Use the in-app terminal to run shell commands in a private Ubuntu 20.04 environment.",
 "who": "A developer or sysadmin who needs a Linux shell with Git and Node.js while away from a computer.",
 "problem": "Quick Linux tasks like checking a repo or running a script need a full machine, which is not always available.",
 "outcome": "Command output from a real Ubuntu 20.04 ARM64 userspace running on the phone.",
 "steps": [
  "Open Mobile Harness and go to the Terminal tab.",
  "Run a basic check such as `git --version` to confirm Git is available. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Run `node --version` to confirm the Node.js runtime is installed. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Run your script or command and review the output in the terminal."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the Mobile Harness Terminal on an ARM64 Android phone, run `git --version` and `node --version`. Expected output: version strings for Git and Node.js from the Ubuntu subsystem. Verify that both commands return a version without errors.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The Linux environment runs through PRoot, which is not a virtualization boundary, so only run scripts and dependencies you own or trust.",

 "lang": "kotlin",
 "requirements": [
  "ARM64 Android phone running Android 9.0 or newer",
