Installing FEniCS on an iPad

1

I know this is not the most appealing question to most, but out of curiousity, I wonder if it is possible to install FEniCS on an iPad? I just learned that there are a couple of apps (e.g. Carnets, Juno, etc.) that lets us use Jupyter Notebooks on an iPad. That made me question if anyone ever tried installing FEniCS. I just read that it is impossible to install Docker to an IOS system but I wonder if there is a way around to install FEniCS since Jupyter is already available.

I think some apps like Pytho lets us run python3 and use a terminal with UNIX commands, install Python modules with pip etc. But I wonder if anyone already gone through these.

As far as I’m aware it is not possible.
Carnets does not support modules depending on C/C++, see: faild when installing cartopy · Issue #246 · holzschu/Carnets · GitHub
Similar, juno also only supports pure python packages, ref: Package management in Juno | Juno

If there ever comes a time where iOS supports docker (Docker Hub) or conda (GitHub - conda-forge/fenics-dolfinx-feedstock: A conda-smithy repository for fenics-dolfinx.), it would be possible to install DOLFINx.
