## a-Shell Description
a-Shell is a complete local terminal emulator, allowing to run most Unix commands on your iOS device. You can transfer files using scp and curl, edit them with vim and ed, process them using grep, awk and sed. You can work with git repositories using lg2. 
Most commands are compiled for iOS native Arm64 format, making them fast and well integrated with the BSD Unix that powers iOS/iPadOS.

a-Shell includes Python, Lua, Perl, JavaScript, C, C++ for programming and TeX (texlive 2025, with Tikz and LuaTeX) for text processing. 

There are also multiple network utilities: nslookup, ping, whois, ifconfig... Type help for help, help -l to get the full list of commands. 

a-Shell can be controlled from Shortcuts: run commands in order, process files in a-Shell, get the results as text or files, transfer files to other apps...

a-shell uses iOS 13+ “multiple windows” ability, so you can run multiple shells at the same time, with different commands, in different directories. You can edit a file in one window with vim and process it in the other with python. 

Compile your C or C++ programs to webAssembly using clang or clang++, and execute the resulting binary. A complete webAssembly SDK is included (WASI-libc).

a-Shell is the complete version. If you need a smaller app, and you don't need a C compiler, a TeX engine, or numpy and matplotlib, there is a-Shell mini.

## a-Shell Reviews in Japan

### ****- "can not install transformers and other python lib"
pip install transformers==4.44.2
it return error
ERROR: Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    status = run_func(*args)

And there is also a error in when install mlx-lm.
-- 人類のいなくなる, 2024-12-17

### ***-- "Incorrect MAC address?"
It seems incorrect MAC address in the 
Ifconfig.
-- ganta0, 2024-11-14

### **--- "コマンド不足"
tracerouteもtracepathもなかった
-- iPhone 利用者, 2024-07-10

### ***** "Rust and Docker support"
Hello dear developer, this is perfect app, this is easy to use, and it possible to do many things.
It possible to add some features like rust(and maybe docker) ?
-- _the_t1m_, 2024-03-17

### *---- "文字が打てない"
テキスト入力ができない
-- wan@yy, 2023-02-01

### **--- "アプリがよく死ぬ"
シェルから起動したプログラムが異常終了するとアプリごと死んでしまうようだ。最近アップデートがされているので、作者様が対応してくれることを期待して星2つにしておく。
-- keiot1cs, 2022-09-14

### ****- "I want the Python program to work even if I close the iphone"
After running a Python program in this app, I would like to use it as a program server if the screen is closed or the program works even when using a different app.

(Addition) Thank you for your answer.  It has been working for a while since I hid the app.  (About 1 minute) According to the IOS specifications, it seems that the status can be extended in the background before suspending with the status of the application.
-- がおうさん, 2022-03-01

### ****- "Beamer"
バージョンが上がったらBeamerでエラーが出るようになった。具体的には、lualatex で Beamer の thema の読み込みに失敗する。local に置くと読み込むので、distribution path の設定ミスではなかろうか？あと、texted-local もおかしい。
-- Sudoku mania, 2021-10-22

### **--- "個人的にまあまあかな。"
2020年3月23日追記: 作者様からご返信があり(作者様、ご返信ありがとうございます！)、どうやら本アプリの開発者様が”OpenTerm”のシェル側の作者様のようで、ご心配の方は英語ですが作者様に直接聞いてみるのもありかなと思います。 (なお、pipが最新版へアップデートできないのとsixモジュールがアプリの再起動後インポートするとエラーを出すのは仕様の様です。) 以下過去レビュー: pip本体のアップデートが再起動する度にリセットされたり再起動の度にsixモジュールを再インストールしないといけない以外は問題なさそう。 変な通信もなくごく普通のアプリの様です。 (Sixモジュールの対策方法としては再起動時に再インストールするしか今の所はなさそうです)

2021年08月追記: 前回の操作を巻き戻すのが無ければ完璧かな…。それがあるからこのアプリは使わない…(I Not Like “Reloading Previous Operation”)
-- Dark7Seven, 2021-08-16

### ***** "Smart Keyboard probrem on iPad."
Unfortunately, when I use this application with the iPad Smart Keyboard, I cannot enter spaces.　This makes it impossible to issue options for the various bash commands.
The application is very nice and VIM is easy to use, but in my opinion it would be a better application if you include NANO as an editor.
-- Liner Seven, 2021-07-01

### ***-- "lack of binaries"
look and feel is very nice,
but because it does not come with wget, git, bash, node, sudo / apt-get / yum (of course, won’t surprise), can’t really do much. Haven’t try to transfer all the binaries into it one by one, but it won’t be a smooth usage even though
-- ボッサー573, 2021-06-08

### ***-- "fatal error"
"stddef.h" file not found

thank you
I was able to compile.
-- トゥールット, 2021-03-02

### ***** "携帯中で一番のshellと思う"
めちゃすごいshellであるね、簡単ながら便利です！
-- 谢立頓, 2021-02-24

### ***-- "起動しない"
最初の頃は使えていたが途中から起動しなくなった。アップデートしてもダメ。
iPythonが使えるのはいい。WebAssemblyだけどclangでコンパイルしたc/c++のバイナリも動く。シェルコマンドも基本的なものは使えるがもう少し充実してくれるとありがたい。
At first I could launch this app on my phone , but since few days ago I can't. Updating didn't work.
-- Ma_lumine_123, 2020-06-07

### ***** "Vim 8 や Python 3.7、TeX Live 2019 が動く"
Vim 8 や Python 3.7 がネイティブで動くため、pip でインストールした pyls や flake8 と連携して vim-lsp や ale と言ったプラグインを使うこともできる。iOS/iPadOS 向けの Vim アプリで Python や外部コマンドを使うようなプラグインを入れることができるアプリは現状このアプリが唯一です。iCloud Drive や Working Copy (git) などの外部アプリのディレクトリも開くことができるため、単純なテキストエディタとしても使いやすいです。

また、ネイティブの TeX Live 2019 では LuaTeX-ja が含まれているため、LuaTeX-ja のクラスを使っていれば何の問題もなく日本語文書がコンパイルできます。

その他多数の UNIX コマンドが同梱されており、今後の発展が楽しみなアプリです。
