unix utilities under Android

I have a smartQ V5 device r开发者_JAVA技巧unning Android ( 1.6, I think) Q: I can not do simple unix things (find, more, ... ) on this device. they are not there. Do I aomehow downlooad them? apt-get is not there either; is there an alternative?

Do I aomehow downlooad them?

Generally, no. There is supposedly an ARM port of busybox around somewhere. An Android device is not a Linux PC.

apt-get is not there either; is there an alternative?

Not for command-line Linux usage. Again, an Android device is not a Linux PC. You use tools like the Android Market to install Android applications.

You can download Cyanogenmod's busybox from here. You will need to root your phone to run it.

busybox is a single executable which contains many unix commands, including find and more.

For what you want to do, you may find it easier to simply install cyanogenmod on your phone. Be aware rooting and/or flashing your phone is not a step to take lightly, and may result in an expensive brick.

Here's an installer, logically, it requires root.
