Andronixon Android, fully automated.
Linux is a free, open-source operating system, like Windows or macOS. It powers millions of computers, phones, and servers, and is used by students, developers, and educators worldwide.
Open Andronix, pick a distro and start the install. The app sets up Ubuntu, Debian, Kali or six more distros, with a full desktop and sound, and opens it for you. No root and no commands.
Distributions
Nine distros. All free.
Every distro and every desktop is free, with backups, developer packs and updates included. The same list you see in the app.
Recommended
Kali Linux is provided for cybersecurity education and authorized security testing.
How it works
Open the app, pick a distro, and your desktop starts
-
Get Andronix
Install it from Google Play. There's nothing else to install.
-
Pick a distro and start the install
Choose a distro and a desktop, and set your username and password. The app does the rest and shows each step.
-
Your desktop starts
When it's done, tap Open the desktop: it opens in the app, with sound. Next time it's one tap from Home.
On a phone with Android 7 or without a 64-bit ARM processor, or if you want the command-line installer, use Andronix with Termux: the Termux guide.
