Cannot run llama.cpp on termux. Bash permission denied

[ManuXD32]

When trying to run './bin/main/ -m ./models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -n 128' termux throws this output:
bash: ./bin/main: permission denied

There's no ./bin and you also have a slash after main/ which wouldn't work even if the executable was there. Use ./main -m etc

Obviously you have to compile it first using make. Refer to the README in the repo. It has instructions for all this stuff.

You might have no execute permission. Have you chmod +x ./bin/main?

@KerfuffleV2 @prsyahmi thank you for your help, the problem was that i wasn't running it from $HOME.

The limitation is that the file system is read-only on newer Android versions.
Apps, like termux, has write-access in their app directories, so we move the files there.
Move the compiled binary and model to the ~/ ($HOME) directory (termux app directory).

adb push llama /sdcard/
adb push model.bin /sdcard/
cd /sdcard
mv llama ~/
mv model.bin ~/
cd ~/
chmod +x llama
./llama
