Install Kali Linux nethunter on our Android device

The installation of kali linux nethunter depends on Android termination using termux

• We removed some repositories that cause problems:

rm -rf $PREFIX

• close the termux application with the command:

exit

• We open the termux application again and change the repository version with:

termux-change-repo

Now we leave selected where it says Main repository? and press Enter to select OK

• Several versions appear, we select Mirrors by Grimler Hosted on grimler.se?
• We will start updating the repository and wait.
• We install termux storage which allows us to access shared and external storage:

termux-setup-storage

• We update the core, it is important so that the directories are updated correctly. If a message appears we give the letter Y and enter, it will ask you several times, and it is important that we place in this order the commands even if they are repeated:

apt-get update 

apt-get upgrade

apt-get update

• we install pkg install wget Wget is a free GNU command line utility tool used to download files from the Internet. It retrieves files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP protocols:

pkg install wget

• we download and install the package and the complete image of nethunter for the termux terminal with the following command:

wget -O install-nethunter-termux https://offs.ec/2MceZWr

• We will be asked if we want to download the file, we press the key Y, and we give you enter.

• With Chmod +x we assign all permissions and privileges to the downloaded file named install-nethunter-termux

chmod +x install-nethunter-termux

• to verify that the permissions have been assigned correctly, we type  dir  if the file appears green, the permissions have been changed correctly.

kex passwd

• Set password: 123456 
• Log in again to confirm it:
