# Termux-MOTD

![Image showing login demo](images/demo.jpg)

A custom python script for giving the [Termux][1]

terminal emulator a dynamic message of the day.

(this repo has also been managed solely on mobile

with Termux :slightly_smiling_face:)

## Requirements

- The Termux android app

- Python 3.10 or above (`pkg install python`)

- [Termux API 0.50.1][2] or above

This script *can* run in a desktop environment

without modifications, but Termux-related features

will not be available. To prevent the associated

warnings from showing, set the `TERMUX_API` variable

in the script to `False`.

## Installation

1. Clone this repository to the 

   /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/ directory

2. In the same etc/ directory, add this line to

   the termux-login.sh file:

   ```sh

   (cd /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/termux_motd && python3 -m src.motd)

   ```

3. Rename etc/motd to something else (e.g. motd.bak)

   so Termux does not display it

## Customization

The "quote of the day" is taken from jokes.txt,

which can be edited to show quotes you want to see.

Sections of the MOTD can be edited near the top

of the `__main__.py` script.
