How to enable this repository

Repository is not enabled in Termux by default. First enable it to be able to install its packages:

pkg install x11-repo

Using X11 on Termux

Programs using the X11 Windowing System cannot be used standalone like normal command-line utilities. Termux does not provide a native way for video output and therefore you will need to install additional software.

The recommended setup is a VNC server (package tigervnc) running on localhost and a VNC Viewer (by RealVNC Limited) Android application for accessing the video output.

There possible to use other Xserver solutions like XServer XSDL, but they are not guaranteed to work properly with our packages.

More information about setting up a graphical environment is on the Termux Wiki.

Only for Termux installations on Android 7.0 or higher.
