Sets up and troubleshoots Termux on Android for development. Use whenever the user works in Termux, mentions pkg, termux-setup-storage, ~/storage, git on a phone, "dubious ownership", GitHub push from a phone, SSH keys or tokens on Android, or wants scripts that run in Termux, even if they only say "run this on my phone". Covers package setup, shared storage pitfalls, git authentication, wake locks and scheduled jobs.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# termux-setup
Practical setup and fixes for developing in Termux. Most problems come from three things: missing packages, shared storage behaving unlike a normal Linux disk, and git authentication.

## When to use
- First time setup of Termux for coding
- A git command fails in a repo under `~/storage`
- Push to GitHub fails or asks for a password
- A script written for Linux must run on the phone
- A task must keep running with the screen off
## Golden rules
1. Work inside `$HOME` (`/data/data/com.termux/files/home`), not inside `~/storage/...`. Shared storage has different ownership and no real permission bits, so git and chmod misbehave there.
2. Use `~/storage/downloads` only to exchange files with other apps (copy in, copy out).
3. Use `https://` clone URLs with a Personal Access Token, or an SSH key. A GitHub account password does not work.

How to install
mdr add mehranqadirian/skills/termux-setup@sha256:2159a84e99526bbeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.a312cfe, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
