  • Termux is an open-source terminal emulator application that works on Android devices. You can use Termux to install and run numerous command-line apps through its own package manager. No root access is required to install and run Termux on Android.

  • To access files in the Termux terminal or to save files from the Termux terminal, you will first need to setup the Termux storage and provide storage access permissions to Termux when prompted. You can do so by executing the following command: "termux-setup-storage"

    Once you are through the storage setup, you will be able to find Termux files stored in the “shared” folder in the internal storage of your Android device. If the “shared” folder doesn’t exist, you can manually create one. Usually, the full path to this “shared” folder is “/storage/emulated/0/shared”.

  • Termux provides some useful add-ons that can be installed on an Android device through the Play Store. Some of these extra add-ons are free, while others are paid.

  • Any device running Android OS 7.0 or newer should be sufficient. Recommended hardware setup depends on tasks you want to perform. Heavy computing or development environment setup will require a high-end device of course.

    Highly recommended to have at least 15 GB on internal storage if you are going to install a lot of packages.

  • Whether Termux will do a 32-bit or 64-bit environment installation, depends on supported ABIs by Android OS.

    Some manufacturers do not bother provide a 64-bit Android even if device supports it. On such devices Termux will do only 32-bit installation and you cannot affect this. Termux depends on some core components supplied by the operating system, this include libc and dynamic linker.

  • Termux provides an utility for setting up storage access. Run next command: "termux-setup-storage"

    It should ask for Storage Access Permission and setup symlinks in ~/storage which points to certain standard directories like actual root of shared storage, DCIM, Pictures, etc.

    Data under exact path ~/storage is not user manageable. Please do not store any custom files in this directory, but only at locations available through symlinks. Running termux-setup-storage another time will ask for wiping the contents of this directory.

  • You need to archive contents of these directories:

    /data/data/com.termux/files/usr

    /data/data/com.termux/files/home

    You can use utility tar. Before uninstalling the app, ensure that archives are placed to safe location such as /sdcard.

  • Yes, as Termux is open-source and typically uses a GNU GPL v3.0 or Apache-2.0 licenses for parts like applications and package build scripts, you can freely re-use existing components as soon as you met the license requirements.

    Binary package repositories should not be reused in projects which do not belong to Termux organization. Please built and host them yourself. 

    Get started with information on developer's wiki pages: https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/wiki.

  • Please, check the comments in https://github.com/termux/termux-app/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/termux/app/RunCommandService.java.  This source code part contains up-to-date information on this topic with example.

  • No, this feature has not been implemented. Unconditional automated execution of arbitrary commands (script on shared storage) also implies a security issue.

    Worth to note that Termux does not have storage access by default and we have not reconsidered this behavior.

  • Since Android 7, regular applications no longer can explore foreign processes in /proc. This has been implemented via hidepid=2 mount option.

    Termux can list only its own processes. You can see more only under rooted shell or ADB.

    This restriction has weird effect on some programs. For example, some processes like ssh-agent or tor daemons will no longer be visible through ps and as result can't be terminated with pkill <NAME> or killall <NAME> but only with kill <PID>.

  • It should be generally safe, especially if you will not use networking utilities or in any other way expose Termux installation to the world.
    You should more care about your outdated Android as it probably would be more easy to exploit TCP/WiFi/Bluetooth stacks and media processing system than targeting only at Termux.

  • The default directory is: /data/data/com. termux/files/home . Since Termux supports bash commands, user can run pwd to print current working directory.
