Termux App

✨Key Features

• ▸Core Functionality: Provides a terminal with accurate emulation, supporting shells like Bash, Zsh, fish; editors (nano, vim, emacs); and full Linux commands/tools.
• ▸Package Management: Uses APT (like Debian/Ubuntu) to install packages; supports Python, Node.js, Ruby, Perl, Git, clang/gcc compilers, SSH, curl, rsync, and much more.
• ▸No Root Needed: Runs in user space; installs a minimal base system on first launch and expands via packages.
• ▸Extensions & Add-ons: Compatible with plugins like Termux:API (for device hardware access), Termux:Float (floating windows), Termux:Widget, and Termux:X11 (for GUI apps).
• ▸Development & Use Cases: Ideal for scripting, remote server access (SSH), coding on-the-go, compiling C/Go/Rust, running bots, text-based games, network tools, and even lightweight servers.
• ▸Installation Sources: Best from F-Droid (recommended) or direct GitHub releases; avoid Google Play version (outdated/experimental, may cause conflicts).
• ▸Current Status (as of 2026): Actively maintained; ~48.8k stars, ~5.8k forks; latest stable release v0.118.3 (May 2025) with security fixes; beta versions available.
• ▸Important Notes: May face process-killing issues on Android 12+ due to OS restrictions; use same signature source for all Termux apps/plugins; community support via Reddit (/r/termux), wiki, and Matrix.
