Package Management

Check Package Management for more details on managing In-App Termux packages.

Recently Termux moved the main Termux packages hosting from Bintray to IPFS. This may have created problems for users while running package installation and update commands with pkg or apt.

If pkg or apt commands are failing for you, then run termux-change-repo and switch to a different mirror, specially for the main repository. Also make sure your device has internet connectivity and the repository URLs are accessible in a browser. After switching the mirror, optionally run pkg upgrade commands to update all packages to the latest available versions if you want.

Changing the mirror may specially be needed if a user is still using bintray as the mirror or pkg upgrade command hasn't been run in a while to update termux package related scripts.

If you receive errors like ...Release' changed its 'Origin' value from 'Bintray' to... after changing the mirror, then accept them.

The URLs changing to weird characters with ipfs.io, 10.via0.com or dweb.link as the domain is normal due to IPFS usage.

Note that during certain times of the day, some mirrors may not be available, so either wait or switch to a different mirror.
