    How about to go with Termux? Honestly, the abilities it has are impressive, really. You can run a lot with Termux. If thats not enought, there is also Ubuntu in Termux which you can install into Termux and boot into it and run your stuff there - that should cover the stuff Termux wont do.

  • Neofetch command not working
    1 project | /r/termux | 22 Nov 2021
    I'm not sure why the neofetch command stopped working, the only thing I did since the last time I ran the command and it still worked was installing this to Termux. Now when I run neofetch in regular Termux, I get /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/neofetch: 35: Bad substitution. I'm on the newest version of Termux from F-Droid. Any help would be appreciated.

    Get termux from the website not Google play store. Use ubuntu-in-termux. https://github.com/MFDGaming/ubuntu-in-termux Then xmrig ubuntu build, basic build. https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/build/ubuntu You may need to apt-get install each dependency manually, but it's not as vast as installing it on a PC. Only a few dependencies. I had trouble with uv not found error it was libuv1
