Here’s an updated guide for installing Kali NetHunter on an Android device, including the Termux method:
### **Prerequisites**
1. **Rooted Android Device:** Kali NetHunter requires root access.
2. **Custom Recovery (TWRP):** A custom recovery like TWRP is needed for full installation, but Termux method can work without it.

### **Method 1: Using TWRP (Custom Recovery)**
#### **1. Root Your Android Device**
**a. Rooting Process:**
- **Unlock Bootloader:** Follow instructions for your specific device model to unlock the bootloader.
- **Install Custom Recovery (TWRP):** Download the appropriate TWRP image for your device from the [TWRP website](https://twrp.me/Devices/). Use fastboot to flash it:
```bash
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
```
- **Root Your Device:** Use tools like Magisk or SuperSU to root your device. Follow guides for your specific device model available on forums like XDA Developers.
#### **2. Download Kali NetHunter Files**

#### **4. Install Kali NetHunter App**

**b. Test Tools:**
- Test the tools provided by NetHunter to ensure they are functioning as expected.
### **Method 2: Using Termux**
Termux allows you to run a Linux environment on Android, which can be used to install and run some penetration testing tools. While it doesn’t provide the full NetHunter experience, it’s a good alternative for those who don’t want to root their device.
#### **1. Install Termux**
**a. Download Termux:**
- Download Termux from the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux) or [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.termux/).
**b. Install Termux:**
- Open Termux and update the package lists:
```bash
pkg update
pkg upgrade
```
#### **2. Install Required Packages**
**a. Install Basic Tools:**
- Install essential tools and packages:
```bash
pkg install git wget curl
```
**b. Install Penetration Testing Tools:**
- You can install individual tools or use scripts to get a range of tools. For example, to install Metasploit Framework:
```bash
pkg install unstable-repo
pkg install metasploit
```
#### **3. Set Up NetHunter for Termux**
**a. Download and Install NetHunter Termux Script:**
- The official NetHunter repository provides a script that can be used in Termux to set up NetHunter tools:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/offensive-security/nethunter-app
cd nethunter-app
chmod +x install-nethunter-termux.sh
./install-nethunter-termux.sh
```
**b. Follow Instructions:**
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
#### **4. Verify Installation**
**a. Run NetHunter Tools:**
- Launch the installed tools and ensure they are functioning correctly within the Termux environment.
**b. Test Functionality:**
- Test the tools and scripts to confirm that they work as expected.
### **Troubleshooting**
- **Boot Issues:** If you experience problems booting into TWRP or after installing NetHunter, reflash the image or check for compatibility issues.
- **Root Permissions:** Ensure that the NetHunter app has root access if using the TWRP method. For Termux, ensure that the installed tools are functioning within the Termux environment.
### **Conclusion**
Kali NetHunter can be installed on an Android device using either a custom recovery like TWRP for a full-featured experience or Termux for a more lightweight setup. Choose the method that fits your requirements and technical comfort level.
