How to use TERMUX GUI

Hey so in this post I am going to tell you how to use termux like a original linux screen ( GUI )as you can see in image above , use this in your android without root , this has a user friendly environment and you can see internal hidden folders with help of it which we can see in our fie manager , like if we download a package or clone a github repo we cant see it in our file manager , but in this we can see all and we can delete also , so let's start

Setup A Beautiful Desktop/GUI In Termux

Requirements :-

1. VNC viewer

2. termux api ( from play store )

3. 50-100MB mobile data

4. stable internet connection

5. 200-300mb storage

6. Termux App

Installation :-

After installing termux and termux api  applications above, open Termux and follow the steps below -

• Update termux packages and install git

pkg upgrade && pkg install git

• Clone this git repository, this installation will be little bit different from other, so copy this correctly 

$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/adi1090x/termux-desktop.git

$ cd termux-desktop

$ chmod +x setup.sh

$ ./setup.sh --install

If script fails during package installation (due to network issues or other ), you can re-execute it again.

this process can take upto 15-30 minutes  , be patient

• During this installation process, you'll be asked to set up password for your termux GUI -

[*] Setting up VNC Server...

You will require a password to access your desktops.

Password:( this password will not be visible so type it correctly)
Verify: ( confirm the password )
Would you like to enter a view-only password (y/n)? n

type at least 6 digit password  Remember the password as it'll be required to connect you 

• If everything is installed correctly , the GUI is ready this message will occur, it can change your termux appearance and make it more attractive

New 'localhost:1 ()' desktop is localhost:1 ( it can be any )
