Termux is a free and open-source app that simulates the command line shell used in Linux, so you can enter all the usual commands to work from there in the comfort of your Android terminal. The app allows you to work with bash and zsh shells, develop in C, or use the Python console.

The app has several improvements over the classic Android Terminal Emulator. Among them, you find access to an extensive library of Linux packages to install from the terminal and some keyboard shortcuts transformed into combinations with the device's physical volume and shutdown buttons. It is also compatible with external keyboards that you can connect via Bluetooth or through the USB port of your device.

Whether you work with NodeJS, Ruby, or Python or have to connect to servers via SSH, Termux is more than suitable for all these purposes thanks to its potential to manage packages as if you were in front of the terminal of a desktop machine. Thanks to this, you can enjoy the versatility of being in front of a clean Linux terminal mounted on an Android device.

If you want to work comfortably with the Linux command line on Android, you can download the Termux APK.
