About this app
Run full, native Ubuntu Linux command-line environments directly on your Android phone or tablet — 100% rootless!
Complete Linux Installer (Linux on Android) brings a real Linux terminal emulator, APT package manager, and one-click developer stacks directly to your mobile device without requiring root access or custom ROMs.
Powered by a high-performance native PRoot user-space engine and POSIX PTY pseudo-terminal bridge, Complete Linux Installer lets you turn your Android device into a portable CLI workstation, server host, or learning environment.
🔒 100% ROOTLESS OPERATION
• Runs entirely in Android user-space via PRoot ptrace system call virtualization.
• Zero root access, unlocked bootloaders, or system partition modifications required.
• Fully compatible with standard Android security permissions.
⚡ INTERACTIVE NATIVE TERMINAL
• Full VT100 / XTerm terminal emulator with ANSI color support.
• Real-time POSIX PTY window resizing and scrollback buffer.
• Built-in quick-action toolbar with Ctrl, Alt, Esc, Tab, and directional arrow keys.
🛠️ ONE-CLICK DEVELOPER SOFTWARE STACKS
• Node.js Stack: Install Node.js, npm, Yarn, Git, build-essential GCC, and Neovim in one tap.
• Python 3 Stack: Complete Python 3, pip3, virtualenv, and C/C++ compilation tools.
• Android Dev Tools: Run OpenJDK 17, Gradle, ADB, and Android platform-tools inside Linux.
• NGINX & SQLite: Turn your device into a portable local web server and database.
• OpenSSH Server: Access your Android Linux shell remotely from any PC or laptop via SSH.
🌐 MULTI-ARCHITECTURE & FAST APT UPDATES
• Native architecture detection for ARM64 (aarch64), x86_64 (amd64), and ARMv7 (armhf).
• Zero-hang APT engine with arch-aware repository mirrors (ports.ubuntu.com) for fast updates.
• Automatic storage mounting for external SD Card access (/sdcard).
