Termux Dev Setups

This project includes an easy-to-use script for the installation of a simple developer setup in Termux on Android. There are multiple install types to choose from ranging from minimal to a full desktop. Termux is a Linux environment and terminal emulator available from GitHub and F-Droid.

Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app that works directly with no rooting or setup required. A minimal base system is installed automatically - additional packages are available using the APT package manager.

I created the install script to simplify the process of installing code-server or an XFCE desktop environment with code-oss installed without having to use a chroot or proot on a few of the devices I use. A few basic install types are available, such as:

Minimal - A minimal installation with code-server and the Micro code editor installed.
Desktop (VNC) - An XFCE desktop environment accessible via VNC with everything from the Minimal install plus code-oss, leafpad and firefox installed.
Desktop (Xserver) - An XFCE desktop environment accessible via Xserver with everything from the Minimal install plus code-oss, leafpad and firefox installed.
