🐧 Welcome to Linux & Termux! 🐧
🦁✨ Today we’ll dive into:

Installing & Using Nala 🦁✨

🚀Nala – a beginner-friendly replacement for apt.

Think of it like this: 👉 apt = a regular taxi 🚕 (it gets you there, but not fancy). 👉 nala = a luxury ride 🚖✨ (same destination, but smoother, faster, and nicer to look at).

Let’s learn how to install and use it!


🔹 Step 1: Installing Nala

On Linux (Ubuntu/Debian & friends): Linux systems often require sudo (think of it as “Run as Administrator”).

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nala

On Termux (Android): Termux doesn’t use sudo, so you just use pkg or apt directly.

pkg update
pkg install nala

🔹 Step 2: Fetch the Fastest Mirrors (Optional but Awesome)

Nala can test and set the fastest download servers for you:

sudo nala fetch   # Linux
nala fetch        # Termux

💡 This makes downloads way faster!


🔹 Step 3: Essential Nala Commands

Once installed, Nala works like apt – but cleaner and friendlier.

  1. Update package list (check for new updates)
sudo nala update    # Linux
nala update         # Termux
  1. Upgrade everything (get the latest versions)
sudo nala upgrade   # Linux
nala upgrade        # Termux
  1. Install apps (add new tools/programs)
sudo nala install neofetch   # Linux
nala install neofetch        # Termux
  1. Remove apps (uninstall)
sudo nala remove htop    # Linux
nala remove htop         # Termux
  1. Search apps (find by name/keyword)
nala search editor

📌 Quick Recap

  • Linux needs sudo for admin power ⚡
  • Termux = no sudo (just pkg or apt)
  • Nala = a luxury upgrade of apt with colors, progress bars & cleaner output 🚖✨

👉 apt will get you there… but nala makes the ride smoother, faster, and prettier.
