Lima on Termux

[wviana]

Hello,

Today I just wonder if I couldn't install Lima on Termux,
Just checked for qemu packages on it, Installed qemu-system-aarch64.
Ok, now Just have to install colima. Found this command in README.

brew install jq
VERSION=$(curl -fsSL https://api.github.com/repos/lima-vm/lima/releases/latest | jq -r .tag_name)
curl -fsSL "https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/releases/download/${VERSION}/lima-${VERSION:1}-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m).tar.gz" | tar Cxzvm /usr/local

Did just some tweak in it. Installed jq with apt ( could be pkg ) and changed to extract in "termux /usr/local". It looked like this:

apt install jq  # Could be pkg i jq, but pkg always does update before install,
VERSION=$(curl -fsSL https://api.github.com/repos/lima-vm/lima/releases/latest | jq -r .tag_name)
curl -fsSL "https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/releases/download/${VERSION}/lima-${VERSION:1}-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m).tar.gz" | tar Cxzvm "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/local"

So it installed lima on termux.

Did it worked?
NO 😢

Even getting autocomplete for limactl command and been sure it is on path. I'm getting No command limactl found, did you mean.... Already rehashed, close termux and open again even navigate to bin directory and try to run as ./limactl. From bin directory I get a zsh: no such file or directory: ./limactl

Does anyone could help me on this?
My intention is to be able to run k3s on termux using lima.
If it works we could create a termux package for it.

Here is which and type outputs.

$which limactl
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/limactl
$type limactl
limactl is /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/limactl

Tried to compile in termux instead of trying to use binary.
Could install it. But am getting this error when trying to run limactl start does anyone could help me on this?
