Video ( How to Install Full Video )
✅ Installation ✅
Install Termux & Termux:API on your phone. It's recommended to install Termux API application as many desktop elements are dependent on it.
Step 1 :- After installing both applications above, open Termux and follow the steps below -
- Update termux packages and install
git
Step 2 :- Clone this repository ( Install Tool )
Warning : I'm assuming that you're doing this on a fresh termux install. If not, I'll suggest you to do so. However the setup.sh script backup every file it replace, It's still recommended that you manually backup your files in order to avoid conflicts.
Step 3 :- Change to cloned directory and run setup.sh with --install option
If script setup.sh fails during package installation (due to network issues), you can re-execute it again.
Step 4 :- During installation, you'll be asked to set up password for VNC -
Note that passwords are not visible when you are typing them and minimum password length is 6 characters. Remember the password you typed as it'll be required to connect via vnc client.
Step 5 :- If everything is okay, you will see this message -
Step 6 :- That's it. Termux Desktop is installed successfully. Restart Termux and enter startdesktop command to start vncserver and connect via VNC Client.
Step 7 :- Now you need a VNC client app to connect to server. I'm using this Android VNC client: VNC Viewer. You can use TigerVNC if you're trying to connect to server by a computer (Windows or Linux).
Determine port number on which VNC server listens. It can be calculated like this: 5900 + {display number}. So for display 'localhost:1' the port will be 5901.
Now open the VNC Viewer application and create a new connection with the following information (assuming that port is 5901) -
Now launch it. You will be prompted for password that you entered during installation. After entering password, you'll be headed directly to this desktop -
✅ Uninstallation ✅
If you want to uninstall Termux Desktop, just use setup.sh with the uninstall option. Just save the setup.sh script and delete the compiled archive to save space. I'll create a different script for later download. The command below will delete all packages and delete all configuration files you have installed, including the changes you have made. So, be careful when ...
You can install additional tools for termux, to make it visually look good.
