termux-debian

ARCHIVED: Termux’s proot-distro is a better alternative that this hunk of junk

A bash (.sh) script to install Debian on a Termux enviroment

Uses PRoot to virtualize a Linux filesystem (not an OS) to be used in Termux

Installation:

All you really need to do is to download the script and execute it (using curl and bash) for this

curl -sLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikl-ls/termux-debian/master/debian.sh
bash debian.sh (optional flags: -v $VERSION to specify the version. -u to uninstall)

$VERSION as in stable, testing, unstable, jessie, etc.

Note: EOL (end of life) versions are not supported due to them being in a seperate repo

The script does everything else like installing dependencies, etc. Just in case, here’s how to install the dependencies:

pkg install -y proot wget

To uninstall Debian, just append the -u flag, then confirm the uninstall:

bash debian.sh -u
