# installing Termux
First download termux from fdroid. or you can get one from this link

First setup you termux with this script (i reccomend to use fresh install termux to prevent error
```
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flasherxgapple/debian-termux/master/termux-setup.sh)"
```
If the first scripts running correctly you should be inside debian's environment, if yes then run this
```
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flasherxgapple/debian-termux/master/debian-setup.sh)"
```
# Manual If script didnt work
