Kali Nethunter is a lightweight penetration-testing environment designed for Android devices. In this guide, we will explain how to install Kali Nethunter in Termux safely and correctly. This tutorial is only for educational and learning purposes. We will not use any harmful tools or illegal scripts. You will understand update & upgrade commands, installation steps, VNC setup, and login details.

Disclaimer: This post is for educational purposes only. Do not use Kali Linux or Nethunter for any unauthorized activity. Always follow cyber laws in your country.

📌 Step 1: Install Termux (Latest Version)

Always install Termux from the official source (F-Droid recommended). Old versions from Google Play may not work correctly.

📌 Step 2: Update & Upgrade Termux (Very Important)

Before installing anything, update your environment fully.

apt update && apt upgrade -y

This step ensures all packages are upgraded to the latest versions and avoids errors during installation.

📌 Step 3: Install Required Packages

pkg install wget -y

We need wget because the installer script will be downloaded directly from GitHub.

📌 Step 4: Download Kali Nethunter Installation Script

Use the below command to download install.sh file:

wget -qO install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xiv3r/Kali-Linux-Termux/refs/heads/main/kali_nethunter/install.sh

📌 Step 5: Give Permission & Run Installer

chmod +x install.sh
bash install.sh

This will automatically extract and set up the complete Nethunter environment. Depending on your device, installation may take 10–20 minutes.

📌 Step 6: Start Kali Linux

kali

After running the above command, you will enter the Kotlin Nethunter shell.

📌 Step 7: Set VNC Password

If you want a graphical interface, set your VNC password:

kali vnc passwd

Now start VNC: 

kali vnc &

Default VNC address:

127.0.0.1:5901

Open any VNC Viewer app → enter the above address → connect.

📌 Troubleshooting Tips

  • If install.sh fails, run apt update again.
  • Ensure Termux has internal storage permission: termux-setup-storage.
  • Restart Termux if packages fail to install.

🎉 Final Words

You have successfully installed Kali Nethunter in Termux with VNC support. This method is 100% safe for learning and research. Avoid installing any illegal tools or running unknown scripts. Use Kali only for ethical testing on systems you own.
