Termux is an Android app that
provides a Linux environment and terminal emulator for such devices. Most
command-line software can be used quite easily with Termux,
and GUI software can be run by installing a few extra apps. It is an excellent
option for Android users who want to run Linux software occasionally on a
device more portable than a laptop but do not want to use a dedicated Linux
phone due to the cost or limitations of such devices.
