Python is a popular programming language used in various fields such as machine learning, data science, and web development. Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app that allows you to run command-line utilities and install packages on your Android device. In this article, we will show you how to create a Python file in Termux.
Step 1: Install Python in Termux
Before creating a Python file, you need to install Python on your Termux. To do this, open your Termux app and type the following command:
pkg install pythonThis command will install the latest version of Python on your Termux. If you already have Python installed, you can skip this step.
Step 2: Create a Python File
Once you have installed Python, you can create a Python file using any text editor of your choice. In this example, we will use the Nano text editor to create a Python file named “example.py”. To create a new file, type the following command:
nano example.pyThis command will open a new Nano editor window where you can write your Python code. You can write any Python code in this file, but for this example, we will write a simple “Hello World!” program.
print("Hello World!")Step 3: Save the Python File
Once you have written your Python code, you need to save the file. To save the file, press Ctrl + X to exit the Nano editor. You will be prompted to save the changes you have made to the file. Press Y and then Enter to save the file.
Step 4: Run the Python File
To run the Python file you have just created, type the following command:
python example.pyThis command will execute your Python program and output the result “Hello World!” in the terminal.
Table of Commands:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| pkg install python | Installs Python on your Termux |
| nano example.py | Opens a new Nano editor window to create a new Python file |
| Ctrl + X | Exits the Nano editor |
| Y | Confirms the changes you have made to the file |
| python example.py | Executes the Python program you have just created |
Conclusion
Creating a Python file in Termux is a simple and straightforward process. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can quickly create and run Python code on your Android device. With Python installed on your Termux, you can take your Python programming skills on the go and work on projects from anywhere.
