Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am attempting to install and run HHVM on an Android device using Termux (ARM64), but the current documentation and installation process rely on Linux server components such as sudo, /etc/init.d, and system services that are not available on Android. Because of this, it is unclear whether HHVM can run at all on Android or mobile Linux environments.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like official clarification and, if possible, support or guidance for running HHVM on Android / Termux (ARM64). This could include:

  • Confirmation of whether Android is a supported or unsupported platform
  • Documentation for building HHVM on ARM64 Android
  • An experimental or community-supported build for mobile or embedded environments

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have considered running HHVM inside a proot Ubuntu environment in Termux or using cloud-based Linux servers for development. However, native or officially supported Android/ARM64 guidance would be much more convenient for mobile development and experimentation.

Additional context
Device: TECNO KI7
OS: Android (Termux)
Architecture: ARM64 (aarch64)

My goal is to experiment with HHVM and the Hack language on mobile devices for learning and development purposes.
