Use a Linux terminal environment and command-line tools on Android.
Before you download
This is the project’s GitHub edition named github-debug. The project warns that it uses a public test signing key. Keep to the exact original source and do not accept updates sent by third parties. The reviewed stable release was published in May 2025; it is not presented as a new 2026 release.
Get started
Let initial environment preparation finish, then try a simple local session. Additional packages and scripts are separate choices from installing the APK.
Keep your data when updating
Copy files and configuration outside Termux’s private storage before changing channels or uninstalling. Also check where its add-ons came from.
Use the original distribution channel where possible. Compare the package and edition before replacing an installation. A different signature or an older version can prevent an update; do not uninstall or clear data as the first troubleshooting step.
If installation or playback does not work
GitHub and F-Droid editions must not be assumed to share signing keys. Check the project’s installation instructions before mixing add-ons or erasing the environment.
Check the Android requirements and architecture shown above. Open the downloaded APK on your own Android device, read its notices and keep system protections enabled. Review any temporary browser installation permission afterward.
Termux FAQs
Why does the file name say github-debug?
That is the name of the build distributed by the original GitHub project. The project discloses its public test key. GOAPK links to that exact release and has not rebuilt it.
Can I install an add-on from another store?
Check Termux’s documentation and use a compatible source for the app and add-ons. Mixed signatures can prevent installation or correct operation.
How do I choose the correct APK?
Check the minimum Android version and the architecture supported by the installed operating system. ARM64 means arm64-v8a; ARM32 means armeabi-v7a. A 64-bit chip does not prove that the installed system supports ARM64. Use the file picker, or the publisher’s store if available.
Can I update an installation from another source?
Check its package, edition and source first. A different signing key can prevent an update. Back up important data and consult the publisher before switching channels; do not uninstall or erase data as the first troubleshooting step.
