Termux
If you want a nice to great full linux stack for your android, seek for Termux.
do not install the playstore version!
Alphabet {google} sabotages OpenSource projects on Android. Get termux straight from the home page
Termux is a full linux ENV:
termux installs minimal
- download
- shell spawns with instructions
- you have to follow them!!!
- once familiarized (easy when you know Debian)
- start your commands, install them individually if their'e not in the default install
- enjoy a free Linux ENV: in the hostile (google) Android ENV
- keyboard assistance is at the bottom of the bash window
- CTRL
- ALT
- cursors
- PaGeUP
- PaGeDOWN
- Home
- End
- Esc
- /
- -
- tab
- are all keys to assist you in fluent linux sh typing
- you may install any sh supported in linux bash csh ksh zsh fish
caveats
- There are a few, however you will still be able to work there
- check your internal ssd space, termux works there by default
- filesizes can be surprising
- I just install Midnight Commander on one of my Androids and the supporting libs (including
clangtook a massive 540MiB while mc itself is small) - I only noticed because on a default debian install those libs are already there for other elf binaries
- on the Slitaz distro those libs are also installed, when mc is invoked / installed
Termux is Linux joy on Android
