What is Termux?

Termux is a free and open-source terminal emulator for Android that allows you to run Linux on Android devices. In addition, various software can be installed through the application's package manager.

Termux is the first terminal application for Android that includes a variety of software, unlike other terminal emulators that only have small or limited tools provided by Android.

Termux automatically installs the minimum base system and other packages are available using the package manager.

Most of the commands available in Linux are accessible just like the built-in Bash commands.
