Termux

Termux is an open source terminal app for Android that simulates the shell command line used in Linux. Through a minimalist interface, you can enter all the typical commands to work from your smartphone in total comfort. You can even adjust the text size with a single tap to display all the lines of code.

Terminal app for easy command entry

Simply tap and hold the Termux interface to access the tool's context menu. From here you can copy, paste or edit commands with great ease and freedom. In addition, thanks to the side navigation drawer, you can also manage multiple active sessions, name them or create new ones with a single tap. To further enhance the experience, you will find a notification bubble to help you optimize the device's performance.

Termux can be used without root access

You will not need root access on your smartphone to use Termux. However, if you know how, you can always combine the tool with a rooted device to install complete Linux distributions or even automate recurring tasks.

Compatibility with a number of Linux packages

Undoubtedly, Termux's great compatibility with thousands of Linux packages is one of the tool's main advantages. Without having to resort to other external apps, you can install compilers such as GCC, interpreters such as Python, NodeJS and Ruby, and even work with advanced tools such as Git, Vim, and Curl in minutes.

Termux-X11 and other variants

If you want to get even more out of the app's graphical interface, you can install Termux-x11. Through this X server you can run lightweight desktop environments directly from Android. By downloading this variant, you can enjoy an experience that is closer to a traditional Linux system.

Download the Termux APK for Android and work comfortably with the Linux command line on Android. Turn your smartphone into a powerful development machine and access commands from anywhere, without the need for a computer.
