### Package Management

Termux uses apt and dpkg for package management, similar to Ubuntu or Debian. Many quirks from Ubuntu are carried over here.



Install package(s):

```

pkg i 

```

Update and upgrade packages:

```

pkg up 

```

Remove/Uninstall Package(s):

```

pkg un 

```

List files 'owned' by package:

```

pkg f 

```

Reinstall a Package(s):

```

pkg re 

```

Show some info about package(s):

```

pkg sh 

```

Search package(s):

```

pkg se  or 

```

List all packages:

```

pkg list-a

```

List all installed packages:

```

pkg list-i

```

* A quick warning for root users: if you prefer to use apt over pkg - never run it as root as you will mess up file permissions and SELinux contexts so you won't be able to use it as normal user. If you did this and your environment was broken, do not ask for help - this is your own fault !

### Servers & Daemons

Termux is capable of accessing remote devices by using some common tools. It is also possible to turn a device running Termux into remote controlled server. 



- FTP Server (requires busybox):

```

busybox tcpsvd -vE 0.0.0.0 2121 busybox ftpd -w path/to/serve

```

Warning: -w allows upload 

and don't use port below 1024 or else you may get permission denied error.



- SSH server:

[Check this if you are using sshd](https://github.com/tomhiggins/TermuxSSHDsetup)



- HTTP Server:

```

busybox httpd -p 0.0.0.0:8080

```
