Install sudo in Termux (Android)

sudo-termux

apt install git

git clone https://gitlab.com/st42/termux-sudo

cd termux-sudo

cat sudo > /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sudo

chmod 700 /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sudo

But if you need sudo. This code can use at linux. You know, we can install distro linux in termux. You can select CLI only or with Desktop. If use Desktop, at android can use VNC (TigerVNC or TightVNC), if use kalifs / nethunter cli via Kex. This can , without root device.

But need more storage, if you install linux with desktop. Like kali linux if you install Kali ARM64 Full (1.9 GB) after installing is 11 GB. But defferent if cli only full or minimal or nano.

Sorry my bad english.

For distro linux cli you can search at github or use Andronix app from play store.

For alternative, linux can run without termux use app Linux Deploy or UserLand. You can install from google play store.

This is 2023 please be smart like as your phone. Your phone is smart phone right.

sorry just kidding

If you just need to execute sudo apt [...] then:

alias if-termux='[[ ! -z $TERMUX_VERSION]]' # If the var is not empty.
# Define `sudo` as no-op if inside Termux:
if-termux && alias sudo=''
# Update information about packages:
sudo apt update
# Upgrade all installed packages to the latest versions:
sudo apt upgrade
# Install Python programming language interpreter, version 3:
sudo apt install python3

Does anybody know if this has been patched in Android 16 as I've tried basically everything in this thread but it says:

Termux does not supply tools for rooting

and I don't really know much about termux to be honest but has anyone found any new solutions?

Any help would be appreciated, (also I got it to work on my old phone but it was Android 14, which is why I think it might be an issue with Android 16)

@Legoscratch, maybe you can use https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/PRoot or the official Virtual Terminal app shipped by Google with the recent versions of Android 16 since 2025.

@ilyaigpetrov Sorry for getting back so late, but thanks so much! This is great and works excellently on my Pixel, even has the ability to run GUI applications!!

now this way is not work in Android15,my phone is install magisk-modules ,root and unlock bl，Android14/15， end if you can use "su" command，in temrmux you just need
cat > $PREFIX/bin/sudo << 'EOF' #!/system/bin/sh su -c "$@" EOF

chmod 755 $PREFIX/bin/sudo

and test
sudo id

.../ $ sudo id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) context=u:r:magisk:s0

pip install su

;-)
