Before you start

To make the installation of Chrootux easier, compiled binaries are available for download. The most common binaries can be found at the official GitHub release page.

Please note the following important information ⚡:

Binaries labeled with "termux" in their name (such as Chrootux-termux-armhf and Chrootux-termux-arm64) are specifically built to run inside Termux on Android 📱.

Binaries labeled simply as Armhf, Arm64, or x86_64 (such as Chrootux-Armhf, Chrootux-Arm64, and Chrootux-x86_64) are not meant to be used inside Termux directly. These are standard binaries that require a suitable Linux environment to run, outside of Termux 🖥️.

In short:

✅ If you are using Termux, make sure to download the binaries that include "termux" in their name.

🛠️ If you are setting up Chrootux in a native or chrooted Linux environment, use the binaries without "termux" in the name.

Chrootux is an independent project and does not directly depend on Termux packages 🔗.

🚀 Downloading the Binaries

You can download the compiled binaries from the following link:

Once there, choose the binary that corresponds to your architecture (e.g., Arm64, Armhf, x86_64).

📥 Downloading with wget or curl

You can use either wget or curl to download the binary directly to your system. Here are the commands:

Using wget:

wget https://github.com/rompelhd/Chrootux/releases/download/v0.3.7/Chrootux-Arm64

Using curl:

curl -LO https://github.com/rompelhd/Chrootux/releases/download/v0.3.7/Chrootux-Arm64

This will extract the files to your current directory.

▶️ Running Chrootux

Once the files are extracted, navigate to the folder where the binary is located. Make sure the binary is executable:

chmod +x Chrootux-Arm64

Finally, run the binary by executing:

./Chrootux-Arm64

Chrootux should now start, and you can begin using it on your system.

🔄 Updating Chrootux

To update, simply repeat the download process with the latest version from the GitHub releases page.
