He'll welcome back to Ahmed tech tube 😁
Yesterday we talked about some information about termux,and today in this post we will continue.
Let's start......
What is termux command?
Termux is a terminal emulator for Android that provides a Linux-like environment. Various commands can be used within Termux to perform tasks such as package management, coding, and system administration. For example:
- To update the package lists: `pkg update`
- To install a package: `pkg install package_name`
- To navigate to a directory: `cd directory_name`
- To list files in a directory: `ls`
- To remove a package: `pkg remove package_name`
These are just a few examples; the commands you use will depend on the specific tasks you want to perform within Termux.
Sure, here are a few examples of Termux commands:
1. Update package lists:
```
pkg update
```
2. Install a package (e.g., Git):
```
pkg install git
```
3. Navigate to a directory:
```
cd /path/to/directory
```
4. List files in the current directory:
```
ls
```
5. Create a new directory:
```
mkdir new_directory
```
6. Remove a file:
```
rm filename
```
7. Remove a directory (and its contents):
```
rm -r directory_name
```
8. Print the current working directory:
```
pwd
```
These are basic examples, and you can explore more commands based on your needs within the Termux environment.
What is termux distro?
Termux itself is not a Linux distribution, but rather a terminal emulator for Android that provides a Linux-like environment. It allows you to run Linux packages on your Android device.
However, within Termux, you can install various Linux distributions or distro packages. For example, you can install a minimal version of Debian or Ubuntu using the `proot` command. This doesn't replace your Android OS but creates a chroot-like environment where you can have a more complete Linux experience.
To install a Debian-based distro in Termux, you can use a command like this:
```
pkg install proot-distro
proot-distro install debian
proot-distro login debian
```
Replace "debian" with the name of the distribution you want to install.
Keep in mind that running a full Linux distribution within Termux has some limitations, and it's often used for specific tasks or development purposes.
