Install Termux from Google Play Store.

Note: Termux does not work well with Android 5 or 6. Don't worry! Most probably you have a much newer version of Android.

curl -Lks bit.ly/tgcf-termux | bash

  • Read the installer script by visiting the link bit.ly/tgcf-termux. You may execute the lines one by one, manually.
