    Android has a Linux-based kernel, but is not necessarily a full-fledged Linux environment... – Andy Yan May 13 '17 at 6:57
  • Then how termux of other applications use them...they are doing these in android kernel after all.... – Agniva Dutta May 13 '17 at 7:07
  • @AgnivaDutta The packages available in Termux are compiled for Android.. Check if Termux has the packages you need.. Else, you'll need to cross-compile them for your architecture yourself. – Gokul NC May 13 '17 at 12:18
