At first start a small base system is installed - desired packages can then be installed using the apt package manager. Access the built-in help by long-pressing anywhere on the terminal and selecting the Help menu option to learn more.

After Android 17 update, Termux will no longer connect to local network addresses. It needs nearby devices permissions, but the developer hasn't added it and doesn't respond to emails. Still works over Tailscale or addresses on the internet, just not local, which is what I mainly used it for!

Excellent for power users. Powerful command line interface and package library for your phone. Running a full desktop or applications is not really feasible, though, even when paired with Andronix.

Everything is very good, except one thing. I can't install some basic software. I can't even use fastfetch, and other basic software. I like it, but it has some software limitations. Great app btw, thanks for making this.
