Boots the Kali Chroot (Nethunter-Rooted) environment directly inside Termux, giving you a fully functional rooted Kali interface with Termux’s flexibility and customizability.
🧩 Rooted Android ONLY
Hey everyone,
I originally created this repo when I was quite young, mainly for my own convenience. But since so many of you are now using it (which is awesome!), I’m restructuring and cleaning things up properly to make it more consistent and reliable.
For anyone who has old forks, please discard old commits when syncing — the old code is preserved in v1.0.0, but all new work will be structured differently going forward.
Thanks for your understanding and continued support ❤️
If you’ve ever used Nethunter-Rooted, you’ve likely come across the Nethunter Terminal. While it’s solid, it doesn’t offer the same customizability or integration that Termux provides.
Boot Nethunter bridges that gap — it lets you boot the rooted Kali chroot directly inside Termux, with all the benefits of your familiar Termux environment.
-
Update Termux to the latest version:
apt update && apt upgrade -y -
Restart Termux. If prompted for superuser access at any point, grant it.
-
Download the installer:
wget https://github.com/cipherswami/boot-nethunter/releases/download/v1.1/install_boot-kali.sh
-
Make it executable:
chmod +x install_boot-kali.sh
-
Run the installer:
./install_boot-kali.sh
-
et voilà! Installation complete 🎉. Now, clean up:
rm install_boot-kali.sh
Run boot-kali anywhere inside Termux to start the Kali chroot environment.
- Installation creates a
binfolder under$HOME/.termux/, which is automatically added to yourPATH. - You can drop any binaries or executables into that folder and call them globally from Termux.
