This is the tutorial to download and install Termux for PC. You can get Termux for PC on any Desktop PC and laptop. Termux will run smoothly on all Windows 10/8/7 and macOS-powered computers.

Termux

Termux is a CLI built for smartphones. In contrast to typical CLI’s like Windows’ Powershell or CMD, Termux is lightweight and comes with in-built Linux packages. Termux combines the Linux packages with terminal emulation.

Via Termux, users can access servers over ssh. If you want to remotely transfer files between servers, or perform any other operations over a server, the ssh via Termux will let you do that. Termux also allows programming in C with CLang. Users can also use make and gdb to program or develop in the C language. Python is one of the compatible languages with Termux as well. If you want to enjoy Termux, you can run the text-based games with frotz. 

When you install Termux, it installs a base system first. The rest of the packages can be downloaded and installed independently using the Termux Package manager. Termux also has a built-in help menu that will educate you about this tool.
