To execute Linux ARM64 binaries in Termux, you need to ensure that your device architecture supports ARM64 and that the necessary libraries and permissions are in place. Here are the steps to achieve this:

  1. Install Termux: Download and install Termux from the Google Play Store or F-Droid.

  2. Update and Upgrade Packages: Open Termux and update the package lists to ensure you have the latest packages.

    pkg update && pkg upgrade
    

  3. Install Necessary Packages: You might need some additional packages to run binaries. At a minimum, install the essential packages:

    pkg install wget proot
    

  4. Download the ARM64 Binary: Use wget or curl to download the ARM64 binary you want to execute. For example:

    wget https://example.com/path/to/your/arm64-binary
    

  5. Set Execution Permissions: Ensure the binary has execute permissions.

    chmod +x arm64-binary
    

  6. Run the Binary: You can now execute the binary directly in Termux.

    ./arm64-binary
    

If the binary requires specific libraries or dependencies, you may need to install those in Termux. Additionally, some binaries might require running under a specific environment that matches their original build system. In such cases, using a chroot or a more complete Linux environment within Termux may be necessary.

Example Using Proot

For more complex binaries that require a full Linux distribution environment, you can use proot to set up a chroot environment. Here is an example of setting up an Ubuntu environment:

  1. Install Proot and Proot-Distro:

    pkg install proot proot-distro
    

  2. Install Ubuntu:

    proot-distro install ubuntu
    

  3. Start the Ubuntu Environment:

    proot-distro login ubuntu
    

  4. Run Your ARM64 Binary in Ubuntu Environment: Inside the proot Ubuntu environment, you can follow the same steps to download, set permissions, and execute your ARM64 binary.

By following these steps, you should be able to run ARM64 binaries within Termux effectively.
