Install Linux terminal emulation and environment app for Android

Today I recommend a Linux terminal emulation and environment APP for Android, it is called Termux.

With Termux, it will simulate a minimal Linux operating environment on your Android phone, similar to many Linux distributions. It can run Linux commands, establish Python, C, Java development environments for corresponding development, and install transplanted Linux programs.

There are several special features of Termux: 1. It does not include directories such as /bin, /usr/, /var, and /etc; 2. The home folder is in the Android installation directory of Termux. If you uninstall Termux, home will be deleted. If you want to uninstall, be sure to check if there are any files that need to be kept. Android cannot directly access files under Termux home. They must be shared through the Termux-open command before they can be used; 3. Termux can run in an Android non-root environment. In this state, ports below 1024 cannot be used, so many program ports installed through pkg packages start with 80, such as FTP will use port 8021.

The following is a brief introduction to the use of Termux.

1. Software installation. There are two commands for installing software in Termux, one is pkg install application package name, and the other is apt install application package name. The corresponding commands are pkg up and apt update to upgrade the software source.

2. Text editing. When using VI and other editing software in Termux, you must learn the shortcut keys, otherwise you will go crazy. It is recommended to use nano.

Volume up + q brings up the shortcut command, you can choose esc, ctrl, alt, tab, -, /,

Volume up + w/a/s/d correspondingly moves the cursor up, down, left, and right

Volume up +t is tab

Volume down + c is ctrl + c

Volume up + e for esc

3. Modify the software source to speed up the download and enter the following command

export EDITOR=vi

apt edit-sources

4. Install the Python2 development environment (for Python3, just remove the 2 from the command below, and the same applies to Pip), pkg install python2 python2-dev . After installation, you can use pip2 to install Python modules.

In addition to basic applications, Termux can also perform some simple penetration tests. Interested friends can visit the Termux Wiki for more instructions on how to use it.
