    It is very easy: https://deepakness.com/blog/android-linux-terminal/ Basically just go to developer options and enable Linux development environment. A Terminal app will be installed. You just need a non-Snapdragon Android phone. Because Snapdragon uses a different hypervisor than other vendors.

    One downside of Termux is the package management as described here [1]. Some set of very new phones have access to Android Linux Terminal [2]. It is similar to Windows Subsystem for Linux. Like WSL, Android Linux Terminal lets one use apt directly. [1] https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Package_Management [2] https://deepakness.com/blog/android-linux-terminal/
