About this project

Termux is an Android terminal application and Linux environment. This repository contains the app itself, including the user interface and terminal emulation; installable packages are maintained separately in termux/termux-packages. The core app supports optional plugin apps: Termux:API, Termux:Boot, Termux:Float, Termux:Styling, Termux:Tasker, and Termux:Widget. Installation is supported on Android 7 and above from F-Droid, GitHub Releases, GitHub Build Actions, and an experimental Google Play build for Android 11+. Android 5 and 6 are supported only for the app without package updates via GitHub sources. APKs from different sources are signed with different keys, so the app and all plugins must be installed from the same source. Mixing sources can cause installation errors unless bypassed with root or a custom ROM. The latest version mentioned is v0.118.3. Users are advised to update to v0.118.0 or higher due to bug fixes including a critical vulnerability. The README notes that Termux may be unstable on Android 12+ because the OS can kill background processes. The app includes debugging features with configurable log levels, issue reporting with logcat and stat info, and documentation for maintainers on conventional commits, semantic versioning, and forking.
