Prerequisites:
Procedures:
After installing Termux, open your terminal and upgrade your packages, you can do that with the command;
After that we're going to install a package called x11, (x11 is a software package and network protocol that lets you interact locally, using your personal computer's display, mouse, and keyboard, with the graphical user interface (GUI) of an application running on a remote networked computer). You can install x11-repo with the command;
Now that x11 has been installed, we're going to install the xfce desktop Environment and tigervnc (a package that allows us connect to the desktop Environment using a local server). You can install this packages with the command;
After the above packages has been installed, you can now connect the xfce packages to the local server and then access it through a third party application called vnc viewer, do that with the commands below;
The command above will connect xfce to localhost :1, you will be required to create a desktop Environment password only the once, which is the first time you connect;
Open your vnc application and connect to your GUI interface. See video below to see practical ways of following this procedures.
This is what the GUI interface looks like the very first time you log in to it, we'd agree that this interface isn't that professional right?, So let us import some beautiful wallpapers into this terminal, do that with a single click using the command below;
After this you can now go to your Desktop settings and change your wallpaper. You can also make some changes to your panel, and yes you're good to go with your Desktop environment. Below is a look at what my Desktop looks like after the settings has been completed.
