Bash script for installing Alpine Linux in Termux.

Check out the other screenshots on my Instagram.

Open Termux app, copy and paste the following command in Termux.

Note: Required to install git and ncurses-utils, skip if already installed!

pkg install -y git
pkg install -y ncurses-utils

cd $HOME && \
    git clone -b main https://github.com/illvart/termux-alpine.git && \
    cd termux-alpine && \
    chmod +x setup-termux-alpine

Or download from GitHub Releases page and extract.

Installation options.

./setup-termux-alpine --setup-user

Please follow the output of the command above!

Just typing a command like below in Termux and enter.

termux-alpine

You can also running any commands inside Alpine Linux:

termux-alpine echo "Hello World"

To reinstall just typing a command like installation above, type y for yes, and enter.

Or pass the command with options example:

./setup-termux-alpine -S -F

Please note! Before uninstalling, recommended to backup the current installation.

cd ${HOME}/termux-alpine && \
    ./setup-termux-alpine --uninstall

Or manually (isn't safe):

rm -rf ${PREFIX}/bin/termux-alpine \
    ${HOME}/.alpine

Upgrade the installation script.

rm -rf ${HOME}/termux-alpine && \
    cd $HOME && \
    git clone -b main https://github.com/illvart/termux-alpine.git && \
    cd termux-alpine
