I'm getting error "de-apt-xfce4.sh: line 44: vncserver-start: command not found" and did a search. I discovered that this is a known issue on their github page (issue #56). I also found that EXA Lab has not responded to anybody on the github issue tracker since Feb of 2019 despite the fact that many people are still reaching out for help. So the app is left up to collect ad revenue and waste people's time. But the developer can't be bothered to fix issues or assist users.

This issue does not exist to begin with since the script was created, most user getting this error are not reading the step 4 instruction correctly and running the script directly in Termux. In another circumstances this happens when user's network problem occur which could't download the script or component, which isn't devs problems.

This is a masterpiece 👏 there are some limitations, as you would expect from a mobile app trying to emulate a linux env without root access, on phones that werent designed to run it. Overall its really well done. I think one small area for improvement would be notifying the user when something is broken because of the app's limitations, as its easy to get lost in debugging something that should work on a normal linux env but doesnt in the app :)

Doesn't work for using a graphical desktop - lots of errors/dependancies etc. Babied it along for some of the problems (manual apt installs etc) but finally gave up. Paid for it too, but didn't help. Refunded It was useless for me, other than to start a shell. :v/ UPDATE TO REPLY: I will have to reinstall and attempt it again, when I get a chance. I will send screen shots. I tried installing the UI it the Termux shell as your instructions stated.

Hi, simply start Termux, and run the script to get into Linux Shell, then execute the command from there will setup the desktop environment. However, please note that you will still need a VNC Viewer to connect to the desktop. If you have any problem or issue please email us, thanks.
