# 01 — Fresh Termux install (Android)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This guide covers a clean Termux install **without** Google Play, which is required for Termux:API / Termux:Boot compatibility.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why not Google Play
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Google Play freezes Termux on an old version. Addons (Termux:API, Termux:Boot, Termux:Widget) require signature parity with the base app, so the Play version is incompatible with the F-Droid / GitHub-Release addons.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Decision:** install everything from F-Droid or GitHub Releases (Termux team's official builds).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Recommended source
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use one of:
|
||
|
|
- [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/) — auto-updates, signed by F-Droid
|
||
|
|
- [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases) — latest, signed by the Termux team
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Both share the same signing key, so addons work across them. **Don't mix Play and F-Droid/GitHub.**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## APK list (download to the device beforehand)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Package | Purpose | Required |
|
||
|
|
|---------|---------|----------|
|
||
|
|
| `termux-app_*.apk` | Base shell | yes |
|
||
|
|
| `termux-api-app_*.apk` | Sensors, camera, clipboard | recommended |
|
||
|
|
| `termux-boot-app_*.apk` | Auto-start on boot | optional |
|
||
|
|
| `termux-widget-app_*.apk` | Home-screen launchers | optional |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## First boot
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# 1. Allow Termux access to shared storage (~/storage symlink)
|
||
|
|
termux-setup-storage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# 2. Prevent Android from killing the process when screen is off
|
||
|
|
termux-wake-lock
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# 3. Update and install the minimum
|
||
|
|
pkg update -y
|
||
|
|
pkg install -y openssh nodejs git proot python
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## SSH for remote access (optional but useful)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
passwd # set an SSH password
|
||
|
|
sshd # start the daemon on port 8022
|
||
|
|
whoami # note the u0_a*** username for remote login
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From another machine:
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
ssh -p 8022 u0_a***@<device-ip>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the device is on Tailscale, use the Tailscale IP instead of the LAN one. Termux itself can't run the Tailscale CLI; use the Android Tailscale app and the device will appear in your tailnet automatically.
|
||
|
