Briefly about the main thing: what is Termux

Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment application that works directly without the need for rooting or configuration. The minimal base system is automatically installed – additional packages are available through the APT Package Manager.

In short and roughly something, Termux is a console that is in your services.

By default, Termux has a minimal base system. Additional packages are available from the “pkg” package manager (analogous to apt). The application supports extended management with superuser rights and the installation of a special “tsu” package (analogous to sudo). Without root rights, the application also has quite broad capabilities.

Termux also has a number of add-ons that can all be found in F-Droid.

1. Termux: API – Access to Android and Chrome hardware features.
2. Termux: Boot – run script (s) when your device boots.
3. Termux: Float – start Termux in a floating window.
4. Termux: Styling – Use Powerline color schemes and fonts to customize the look of the Termux terminal.
5. Termux: Tasker is an easy way to call Termux executables from Tasker and compatible apps.
6. Termux: Widget – Run small scriptlets from the home screen.

What is Termux used for

1. Device automation using scripts and Termux Tasker add-on.
2. File transfer and sync via syncthing, rsync, rclone, etc.
3. Programming (clang, python, vim, etc.).
4. Checking the security of devices for hacking.
5. Checking the security of sites for DDoS or Dos.
6. Look for vulnerabilities in a router or network.
7. Spam protection check (maybe someone will need it :))

This command will install the sl package in termux: (small thing, nice)

The sl package is now installed in your termux and you just need to type sl.
