Termux - Can't Opened in the Browser #77

Closed mskian closed 5 years ago

mskian commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I am using ddgr in Termux Install via Python3 pip

While try to Open the search result in Browser I got this below error

[Error] Could not locate runnable browser

Install w3m if not installed already. Then:

export BROWSER=w3m

@mskian @jarun Another way to go about it is to set it to termux-open-url, so something like export BROWSER=termux-open-url.

If you're using termux I guess you wanna do stuff in a terminal emulator, but if you'd want to open it in something like Firefox that's one way it could be done. (Well, likely would do it).

Was a while since I read the ddgr docs (and code), but I guess that might be a reasonable default setting since that's provided without any terminal-api add-on, if I'm not mistaken. I don't think any terminal browser comes with termux by default. At least not as far as I can tell when installed from F-Droid.
