Termux: A Beginners Guide

Akhil Mahesh — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 05:30:00 +0000

Hey everyone, I was planning to write my next article—which I mentioned in my previous post about “How to Customize the Vim Editor on Termux to Make It Look Like VSCode.” That’s when I thought: how many people actually know about Termux and how to use it? If you're one of them, this article is for you. Before diving into Termux commands, let's talk about what Termux is.

What is Termux?

Termux is a free and open-source terminal emulator for Android that provides a Linux environment without the need for root access. If your device is rooted, it becomes even more powerful, allowing you to use additional tools such as chroot. In simple terms, it transforms your Android device into a mini Linux workstation, enabling you to install extra Linux packages via its package manager (which is based on Debian’s APT).

Termux gives you access to most standard Linux commands and shells, allowing you to run scripts, compile code, and more. With Termux, you can install tools for programming (e.g., Python, JavaScript, Java), networking, security, and text editing (e.g., Vim, Nano, Emacs).

Beyond the basic terminal, Termux supports add-ons like Termux:API, Termux:Styling, and Termux:Boot, and you can install packages like OhMyZsh.

You can download Termux via F-Droid or directly from GitHub. I personally prefer the GitHub version because it's the most updated version available. You can also download it from the Play Store, but don't install it because the Play Store version is no longer actively maintained and, due to new security policies (Android 10 onward), it faces compatibility issues.

Overall, Termux is a powerful tool for developers or anyone who wishes to become a software developer but doesn't have access to a computer.

Now, let’s dive into Termux commands.

Basic Package Management

Update and Upgrade

Every time you open Termux, make sure your terminal is up-to-date by updating and upgrading it before use.

Update Package List:

  pkg update
  apt update

Updates the package list from the Termux repositories.

Upgrade Packages:

  pkg upgrade
  apt upgrade

Upgrades all installed packages to their latest version.

Combine Update and Upgrade:

  pkg update && pkg upgrade

Alternatively, you can combine both commands in a single line.

Installing and Searching for Packages

Install a Package:

  pkg install <package>

Installs a package (e.g., pkg install python).

Search for a Package:

  pkg search <keyword>

Searches for packages matching the keyword.

Standard Linux File Management

These are the same commands you’d use on any Linux system:

ls - List files and directories
cd <directory> - Change the current directory (this command takes you inside a specific directory)
mkdir <dir> - Create a new directory (e.g., mkdir my-project)
cp <source> <destination> - Copy files or directories (e.g., cp files.txt home/my-folder)
mv <source> <destination> - Move or rename files/directories (e.g., mv files.txt home/my-folder or mv app.py application.py)
rm <file name> - Remove a file (deletes a file). Use rm -r for directories.
cat <file name> - View file contents
nano <file name> or vim <file name> - Edit file contents

Termux-Specific Commands

Storage and Repository Management

Set Up Storage:

  termux-setup-storage

Become a Software Developer Using Your Android Device | Mobile Coding Made Simple

Akhil Mahesh — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 05:15:00 +0000

Do you want to become a software developer or engineer but don't have a laptop or computer? If so, I've got you covered. You can become one without a fancy laptop, just by using your smartphone. This is based on my personal experience: I never owned a laptop, yet I became a developer and now write and post this very article using my smartphone. Curious how? I’m about to share some awesome apps you need to check out to make your dreams come true. Let’s jump right in!

1. Termux

Termux is a Linux-based terminal emulator on Android. With Termux, you can do anything, I mean, anything. You can use it as an IDE, download torrent files, run script files, host a server, and much more. Whatever programming language you choose, this is the first stop for you. To use Termux, you might need to learn some basic Linux terminal commands. It will take less than 10 minutes to learn them.

You might be wondering how you can become a software developer with this app. It's perfectly normal to think that way. You might have seen IDEs like VSCode, IntelliJ, and others. You can do most of the basic functions available in those IDEs on Termux; you just need to tweak it that way. For example, there are some code editors available for Termux, such as nano and vim. These two are popular, and if you are just a beginner, nano is the starter pack because, compared to vim, nano is much easier to use. But with vim, you need to learn some vim commands—you may have seen memes about how people can't quit vim. But once you learn them, vim will be your go-to. Also, plain vim looks rather depressing, but if you tweak it properly, you can make its UI look just like VSCode. I'm not joking—you can see it below. Also, you can add plugins like autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and more. I use it mostly to write code in Java, but I also use it for writing JavaScript, Python, etc.

If you want to change your vim like this, just ask in the comments.

One thing that makes Termux special is its community. If you ever feel stuck, you can ask their community on Reddit for a solution. They will help you with whatever mess you're in. If you are totally into web development, the next three apps are for you.

2. Acode

Acode is a code editor for Android specifically for web development. If you set up acode-server plugins with Termux, it becomes even more powerful. Also, you can install extensions just like in VSCode. I used to write React by integrating Acode with Termux. The reason I prefer Acode over other code editors specialized for web development is that Acode is open-source. You can download it from the Play Store and F-Droid; I suggest downloading it from F-Droid, because the F-Droid version is much better than the other. You can also write Python code in it, but I don't suggest doing that—instead, use Termux for it. Even so, if you are not satisfied, then I'll share how to use Termux for web development in another post.

3. TrebEdit

TrebEdit is another code editor specifically for web development. If you are a beginner in web development and have just started learning, then you can use it. It has an autocomplete feature, so it will help you a lot. An interesting feature—and the reason I included this app on the list—is that you can use its device emulator. You can see how the website looks on different screen sizes, just like adjusting the minimized tab on a desktop. There is also a console for you, but you can only use JavaScript on it. Also, since the inspect feature on a web browser is essential for debugging, I've got you covered with the next app.

4. Kiwi Browser

Kiwi Browser is a wonderful browser and very useful if you are a web developer. Normally, you can't use the inspect feature on a mobile browser like you can on a desktop browser. But Kiwi Browser can inspect the code of a website, check the console, and more; my favorite feature is that you can install Chrome extensions, which can't be installed on the regular Chrome browser for smartphones. So if you are a web developer, I strongly suggest you use Kiwi Browser to debug your code.

5. JStudio

If you want to become a Java developer, I strongly suggest JStudio. JStudio primarily focuses on Java programming, and if you are working on a project in Java, then this is a better option. Unlike Termux, where package names don't really matter, JStudio strictly follows the package name rules. One of the best features of JStudio is that you can build Android apps using it. But sadly, JStudio doesn't support the latest AndroidX features, so you can only create apps based on API 29.

6. GitHub Codespace

GitHub Codespace is a feature provided by GitHub that lets you run VSCode on the web. If you have a project in a repository, simply replace your link with github.dev instead of github.com. You can use it just like the desktop version of VSCode, but with many limitations. You can install some basic extensions. Also, it is only useful if you have a physical keyboard.

7. OnlineGDB

OnlineGDB.com is an online compiler and debugger tool specifically for C/C++ languages. Despite being just an online IDE, it offers a debugging facility with an embedded debugger. This is a very handy web app for coders who are okay with an online IDE. OnlineGDB supports not only C/C++ but also languages like Java, JavaScript, Python, Kotlin, PHP, Ruby, and many more.

Conclusion

These are the tools I used to become a programmer. There are more apps on the list, but I think these are the ones I prefer most. I also believe that some apps deserve special mention, such as Dcoder, Replit, Spck Editor, and Cxxdroid. Right now, I only use Termux and JStudio; these two have everything I need. If you want to learn how to use and customize Termux, I'll be posting a new article about it. So do follow and support me for more.

I managed to accomplish this feat entirely on my smartphone, utilizing the remarkable trebedit software.

A link tree website is a single page that contains a collection of links to other websites or online profiles. It is a great way to organize your online presence and make it easy for visitors to find the information they are looking for.

Some people create link tree websites to promote their businesses or services. Others use them to share their work or connect with other people in their field. And still others use them to simply keep track of their favorite websites.

The result of my labor is an open-source project, with the complete source code available on my GitHub repository. Make sure to check out my GitHub Profile for the source code. To make the website accessible to the world, I chose to host it on Netlify due to its user-friendly nature.

Choosing the Right Tools

Before diving into the coding details, it's crucial to lay the foundation with a thoughtful selection of color palette and fonts. I employed the fantastic coolors website to curate an aesthetically pleasing color scheme that resonated with my project's vision. To ensure a harmonious visual appeal, I opted for the comfortaa and raleway fonts.

I also found the Font Awesome icons to be very useful. They are a free and open-source library of icons that can be used in web development. I used them to add icons to my link tree website to make it more visually appealing.

Gathering Resources

With my smartphone as my trusty companion, I delved into the wealth of knowledge available online. I referred to trusted sources like W3Schools and Geek for Geeks, which offered me valuable insights into web development concepts.

The Building Blocks

Starting with the HTML structure, I carefully assigned class names to different elements to maintain clarity and organization. Gradually, I added the required styles using CSS, incorporating the chosen color palette and fonts. Remarkably, I achieved responsiveness without employing traditional media queries. Instead, I leveraged the power of max-width in CSS to ensure seamless adaptability across various screen sizes. To add a touch of visual appeal, I seamlessly integrated Font Awesome icons into the design.

The Dynamic Element

For the crowning touch, I ventured into the realm of JavaScript. Within the dedicated JS file, I implemented an event listener that facilitates one-click copying of links to the clipboard. As a believer in the value of collaboration, I meticulously inserted comments throughout the HTML, CSS, and JS files. This serves as a friendly gesture to fellow developers and enthusiasts who might explore my open-source project.

Putting it Out There

Following exhaustive testing and refinement, the time had come to launch my creation. With Netlify's impeccable hosting service, the website found its online home. Simultaneously, I proudly uploaded all the code to GitHub, inviting the global community to dissect, contribute, and learn from the project.

Conclusion

As you've seen, creating an animated, responsive link tree website isn't reserved for seasoned developers with high-tech setups.

I constantly use quotes for various purposes, such as creating captions for my stories or posts on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter. Every time I need a good quote, I find myself visiting different websites. One day, while searching for a quote for an Instagram story caption, a thought crossed my mind: Why shouldn't I create a web app that generates random quotes? And that's how my journey to create this web app began.

Building upon the Powerful Trio

To create this web app, I utilized the powerful trio of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. To ensure that the webpage is responsive and adapts to different devices, I implemented techniques and methods referenced from reputable sources like W3Schools. The quotes are dynamically placed within the JavaScript code. Furthermore, I have plans to enhance the functionality by integrating an API into the web app in the near future.

Hosting and Source Code

As mentioned earlier, Netlify proves to be an excellent choice for hosting the web app. For those interested in accessing the source code, it is available on my GitHub profile.

Responsive Design

One of the standout features of this web app is its responsive design, which seamlessly adapts to different screen sizes, ensuring a smooth user experience whether accessed from a smartphone or desktop. The layout and elements of the app adjust dynamically to provide an optimal viewing experience on any device.

Additionally, the web app boasts a clean and minimal UI, enhancing usability and aesthetics. The design prioritizes simplicity and clarity, allowing users to focus on the content and functionality without distractions. The carefully chosen color schemes, typography, and overall visual presentation contribute to a visually pleasing and user-friendly interface.

Unleashing the Power of Dedication

Throughout the entire process of creating this web app, from writing codes to hosting, I accomplished everything on my Android device, specifically the Vivo V9 Youth. To write and execute the codes, I relied on an app called TrebEdit. Due to not having access to a laptop, I had to perform all these tasks on my Android device.

This showcases that even without a laptop, it is entirely possible to develop webpages and web apps. All it requires is dedication and the willingness to adapt to the available resources. By leveraging the capabilities of mobile devices, we can demonstrate that the world of web development is accessible to everyone, regardless of their tools.
