Termux application
Termux is an Android terminal application and Linux environment.
Note that this repository is for the app itself (the user interface and the terminal emulation). For the packages installable inside the app, see termux/termux-packages
@termux is looking for Termux Application maintainer for implementing new features, fixing bugs and reviewing pull requests since current one (@fornwall) is inactive.
Issue https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/1072 needs extra attention.
Installation
Termux can be obtained through various sources listed below.
The APK files of different sources are signed with different signature keys. The Termux app and all its plugins use the same sharedUserId com.termux and so all their APKs installed on a device must have been signed with the same signature key to work together and so they must all be installed from the same source. Do not attempt to mix them together, i.e do not try to install an app or plugin from F-Droid and another one from a different source. Android Package Manager will also normally not allow installation of APKs with a different signatures and you will get an error on installation but this restriction can be bypassed with root or with custom roms. If you wish to install from a different source, then you must uninstall any and all existing Termux app or its plugin APKs from your device first, then install all new APKs from the same new source.
Following is a list of Termux app and its plugins.
If you wish to install Termux from a difference source, you must uninstall all the apps listed above before installing from new source. Go to Android Settings -> Applications and then look for the following apps. You can also use the search feature if its available on your device and search termux in the applications list. Even if you think you have not installed any of the plugins, its strongly suggesting to go through the application list in Android settings and double check if installation is failing.
F-Droid
Termux application can be obtained from F-Droid here. It usually takes a few days (or even a week or more) for updates to be available on F-Droid once an update has been released on Github. F-Droid releases are built and published by F-Droid once they detect a new Github release. The Termux maintainers do not have any control over building and publishing of Termux app on F-Droid. Moreover, the Termux maintainers also do not have access to the APK signing keys of F-Droid releases, so we cannot release an APK ourselves on Github that would be compatible with F-Droid releases.
Debug Builds
For users who don't want to wait for F-Droid releases and want to try out the latest features immediately or want to test their pull requests can get the APKs from Github Actions page from the workflow runs labeled Build. The APK will be listed under Artifacts section. These are published for each commit done to the repository. These APKs are debuggable and are also not compatible with other sources.

For Devs and Contributors
The termux-shared library was added in v0.109. It defines shared constants and utils of Termux app and its plugins. It was created to allow for removal of all hardcoded paths in Termux app. The termux plugins will hopefully use this in future as well. If you are contributing code that is using a constant or a util that may be shared, then define it in termux-shared library if it currently doesn't exist and reference it from there. Update the relevant changelogs as well. Pull requests using hardcoded values will not be accepted.
The main Termux constants are defined by TermuxConstants class. It also contains information on how to fork Termux or build it with your own package name. Changing the package name will require building the bootstrap zip packages and other packages with the new $PREFIX, check Building Packages for more info.
