In this module, we are going to learn how we can install Kali Linux on non-rooted Android devices and turn them into pockets hacking machines! Let’s get started
Steps to install Kali Linux on non-rooted Android
Below we’ve outlined the steps to install Kali Linux on Android devices that are not rooted. During the tutorial, if you wish to access your android device from your computer using SSH or even setup a web server, you can read through this tutorial.
1. Prerequisites
First things first, we need to install Termux and Hacker’s Keyboard on our Android Device.
You can fetch these apps from Google Playstore.
2. Setting Up Our Environment
Next up, we would need some packages which we would need during the installation process.
First, update and upgrade the system with :
$ pkg update && pkg upgrade -y
Next up we need to setup our system so that we can access the files created by Termux outside of our Termux session as well. This can be done with :
$ termux-setup-storage
Once you have granted the required Permissions, finally install the required packages with :
$ pkg install wget fish
Once done, we can proceed to the actual installation step.
3. Fetching And Executing Our Script
Next we need to fetch and execute a script which will install Kali Linux for us. To fetch the script, type:
$ wget https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/nethunter/build-scripts/kali-nethunter-project/raw/master/nethunter-rootless/install-nethunter-termux
Now, we need to make the script executable and run it with:
$ chmod +x install-nethunter-termux
$ ./install-nethunter-termux
This will fetch Kali Linux files and install them for us on our Android device. The script would fetch around 1.5GB of files so naturally, it might take a lot of time depending upon your network speed. Once the script is done extracting the rootfs file, you can even delete it.
Once the script has finished, you can run Kali Nethunter from the CLI.
To launch Kali Linux in CLI mode, type:
$ nethunter
This would drop into a shell on Kali Linux. You can now use Kali Tools or check your OS with
$ cat /etc/os-release | grep "\bNAME="
NAME="Kali GNU/Linux"
Now we have successfully completed our install of Kali Linux on our non-rooted Android as well !
Conclusion
Note that on non-rooted you cannot use some tools which require root permissions . However, this still remains utilitarian when performing memory intensive operations like Password cracking and bruteforcing. Most mobile devices nowadays come with a lot of RAM and brilliant processors which can help to crack password hashes or bruteforce our way into systems all the while retaining the functionalities of a normal Android Device.

PROBLA HO RAHI HE
go install terminux from another source like f-droid
use f-droid
How to install Termux app from F-Droid:
Open F-Droid on your Android or Chrome OS device by tapping this link,
Tap Download APK,
Tap the downloaded APK on your device,
Tap allow installation of apps from unknown sources (you will want to set this option anyway to be able to install apps built on your device in Termux),
Allow the installation to complete,
Once installed, you will see the Termux launcher on your home screen and in your App Drawer. Tap the icon to fire up the application.
Please do not mix your installation of Termux between Google Play and F-Droid. There are compatibility issues such as, “Can’t install Termux:Api from google play
Share chat id baned Reported
It is telling me no such file or directory found
Please allow the storage permission to Termux.
Go to Settings > Apps > Permissions > Storage > Allow
You problem should be fixed.
