Termux App Store: pip install support + packaging tools (tasctl & termux-build)
Hi,
Just sharing a technical update for the Termux App Store project.
It’s a TUI/CLI-based package manager concept for Termux, focused on installing community tools from source in a more interactive way.
New updates:
- Install via pip:
pip install termux-app-store
- Added internal tooling:
• tasctl > control interface for managing app store behavior
• termux-build > helper script to generate and validate package definitions
The system is designed around:
- source-based installs (no prebuilt binaries)
- SHA256 verification
- simple build.sh packaging format
- offline/private-friendly usage
- users who want to add packages to the public
The goal is to create a lightweight, community-driven layer on top of Termux for distributing CLI/TUI tools.
Project is still evolving and currently maintained solo, so feedback on architecture, packaging approach, or workflow design is very welcome.
