Termux was unable to install the bootstrap packages
After doing some research, it mention that the bootstrap in this url (http://termux.net/bootstrap/) must be download and install before one can use Termux.
So, how do I install the bootstrap? or do I put the bootstrap files into a particular folder in the phone before install Termux? or something else I need to do? or are there alternative methods to get Termux installed and running without connecting to the Internet?
(Note: The phone is not connect to the Internet. The phone need to have Termux installed with all prerequisite packages, such as bootstrap.)

If you want to install that bootstrap package without internet, you need root access.
The easiest way I’ve found is with Titanium Backup. You can install Termux on another device, bootstrap it then back it up with TB, and transfer the TB backup to the offline device and restore. It’s also convenient for batch deploy.
If you want to manually install the bootstrap package via a shell (another Terminal Emulator or ADB shell), here’s a possible method (I haven’t tested it myself, but I think it’s mostly correct). As said before, manual installation also requires root access.
First download the ZIP of the correct architecture and create these directories:
Then create some symbolic links because they’re required for Termux to work. The instruction to creating those symbolic links are stored in SYMLINKS.txt and you need to process that.
Finally, correct the permissions, ownerships and SELinux contexts. Run the following commands. You can use the «vanilla» toolset in /system/bin for this job. They perform well here.
If you’re running Android 7 (API 24) or up, run this command in addition:

What does the error message say? Probably you have termux apps from google play still installed, for example termux-widget.
WMCB-Tech commented Sep 10, 2021 •
that is very unclear, latest versions of Termux doesn’t use termux.net/bootstraps anymore to setup bootstraps by downloading it and termux.net is for legacy versions. instead it locally installs the bootstrap. maybe you chose the older version of termux or didn’t see the version properly. (eg. 0.17 instead of 0.117)
Also if you’re rooted, you could have played around with fire root. in that case you may try restoring correct permissions and selinux contexts using restorecon

Примечательно, что хотя некоторые плагины платные, на странице автора есть ссылки на исходный код на github-e https://github.com/termux, т.е. можно самому собрать как само приложение так и все плагины; термукс из маркета надо будет удалить и собрать и установить руками потому что подписи должны совпадать.
Если кому-то лень самому собирать, в прицепе моя сборка с плагинами. Отдельно плагины из этой сборки не будут работать с версией из маркета, так как я все подписал своим серификатом, который ессно не совпадает с сертификатом автора.
Если кто-то хочет собрать из исходников, то помимо android sdk также потребуется ndk.
Хотя исходники платных плагинов открыты, я один плагин купил по-любому, потому что очень уж хочется поддержать разработчика за такой мега-подарок.

Basic use of termux
Introduction to Termux
downloads a newer coolapk version in Google Play, and plug-in is easy to install. Competent friends suggest that you first consider downloading the Google PLay version, then the F-Droid version, and finally the pitiful coolapk version.
Termux is the next advanced terminal emulator for Android, which is open source and does not require root, and supports apt Manage packages, easy to install, perfect support for Python, PHP, Ruby, Nodejs, MySQL, etc. As the popularity and performance of smart devices continue to improve, today’s hardware standards for mobile phones, tablets and so on have reached the hardware standards of primary desktop computers, to create DIY That turns your phone into a powerful geek tool.
The first time you start Termux, you need to load data from a remote server, but you may encounter this problem:
The official remote server address for Termux here is: http://termux.net/bootstrap/
There are two solutions currently:
basic operation
The basic operation still needs to be learned.
Scale Text
You can use zoom gestures to adjust the font size.Yes, just zoom in and out with your two fingers.
Long press screen
Long press on the screen will bring up display menu items (including copy, paste, more) for us to copy or paste
The description of the More menu is as follows:
session management
Show hidden navigation bar to create, switch, rename session, and invoke pop-up input
You can also see how many sessions Termux is currently running in Android’s notification bar:
Common keys
Common keys are the keys commonly used on the PC side, such as ESC, Tab, CTR, ALT keys, which can improve the efficiency of our daily operations, so Termux now displays this extended function key by default.(Not shown by default in 2018)
There are two ways to turn on and hide this extended function button:
Slide left to right, show hidden navigation bar, long press KEYBOARD in lower left corner
Use Termux shortcuts: Volume++ Q or Volume++ K
Customization is also supported for this common key in later Termux.
Fundamentals
Shortcut table
The Ctrl key is a common key used by end users, but most touch keyboards do not have it, so Termux uses the volume down button to simulate the Ctrl key.
For example, pressing Volume Decrease + L on a touch keyboard is equivalent to pressing Ctrl + L on the keyboard to clear the screen.
Volume ++ key can also be used as a special key to generate a specific input.
Familiar with shortcuts can also greatly improve the efficiency of operations.
Basic Commands
In addition to supporting apt commands, Termux encapsulates pkg commands on this basis, which are downward compatible with apt commands.The apt command should be familiar to everyone. Here is a simple introduction to the pkg command:
I recommends that you use the pkg command, because it is very convenient to automatically execute apt update command every time when pkg command is executed
Software Installation
directory structure
Friends who have used Linux for a long time may find that this HOME path does not look the same as on our computers, because it is designed to facilitate the special environment variables provided by Termux.
Port View
Android version below 10
Versions below Andorid 10 can normally use the netstat command, which makes it easy to view port information
Android Version 10
Using nmap is a purely helpless operation, but it works.
Advanced Configuration
Advanced configuration is essential for a good experience.
Replace domestic sources
When using pkg update to update, we found that the default official source network speed is a bit slow. At this time, we will change to the domestic source of Termux Tsinghua University to speed up the download of software packages.
Method 1: Automatic replacement (recommended)
You can use the following commands to automatically replace the official source to a TUNA mirror source
Don’t wait foolishly if pkg update gets stuck, just pressing return a few times
Method 2: Manual modification
Use a text editor built in or installed in Termux, such as vi / vim / nano, to edit the source files directly. Do not use other external APPs with ROOT privileges, such as RE Manager, to modify Termux files
Install Base Tools
After replacing the source, download and install some basic tools, which are essentially built into the Linux system, because Termux does not carry these tools by default for its small size. Follow these commands to install:
Terminal color scheme
The script mainly uses zsh instead of bash as the default shell, supports color and font styles, and activates external storage to access directories directly under the SD card.The default theme is agnoster, the default color style is Tango, and the default font is Ubuntu.
Execute the following command to ensure that the curl command is installed
If port 443: Connection refused network timeout occurs, then execute the following command
Android 6.0 and above will pop-up box to confirm whether to authorize access to the file, click Always allow authorized Termux to access SD card files easily.
Mobile App can only access its own data by default. If you want to access the storage of your mobile phone, you need to request permission. If you just accidentally refused, you can execute the following commands to regain access:
Scripts allow the following two options:
Choose the color style and font style, respectively, and restart Termux app for configuration. If you want to continue changing the color scheme, you can change the corresponding color scheme according to the following commands:
Set the color style:
Enter chcolor command to change color style, or:
Run chfont to change the font, or:
Create directory soft link
After executing the configuration script above and granting access to Termux files, the storage directory is generated in the home directory and several directories are generated, with soft links pointing to the directory of the external storage card:
Create QQ Folder Soft link
Mobile QQ is often used on mobile phones to receive files. In order to facilitate file transfer, soft links are created directly in the storage directory.
QQ
