# Sudo-su-Termux

A bash script to install the sudo functionality in termux.

**Requirements**

The device must be rooted else this will not work.

**Installing sudo**

1. Open termux 

2. Execute this command 

```

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xicor22/Sudo-su-Termux/master/install.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 && chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh

```

3. Done!

**Features**

- Sets up its environment automatically on first run, no need to do anything but use it

- Creates a root folder ```.suroot``` in the Termux home folder with proper root permissions and ownership

- Creates ```.bashrc``` file in root folder with proper PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables set so all binaries function correctly

- Bash prompt PS1 variable is also set so you don't have ```bash-4.4#``` as prompt just ```#```

- Automatically creates ```.bash_history``` in root folder when you drop to a root shell so root shell history is preserved

- Can be used like ordinary sudo (but only as root, no other user)

- Can drop to root shell ```sudo su [-]```

- Runs built in Termux binaries and exteral binaries with optional arguments as root in current directory

- Generates output in shell currently using

- Can be used in other bash scripts

```

Usage:

sudo su [-]  

  Drop to root shell

sudo  []  

  Run command as root with optional arguments

```
