In Termux

I learnt to use apt and pkg in Termux to install & manage packages.

-$  apt install tree
-$  apt remove tree
-$  pkg install tree
-$  pkg uninstall tree
-$  pkg install mariadb
-$  dpkg, apt-get, etc...

Everything worked fine

In Pydroid3 terminal

So, i just tried the same in Pydroid3 terminal.

/storage/emulated/0 $  apt install tree
sh: apt: not found

/storage/emulated/0 $  pkg install tree
sh: pkg: not found

/storage/emulated/0 $  apt-get
sh: apt-get: not found

/storage/emulated/0 $  dpkg
sh: dpkg: not found

Only pip and some basic commands work here

Pydroid3 terminal details :

/storage/emulated/0 $  uname -a
Linux localhost 4.14.113-21094692 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 25 17:48:28 +07 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux

On Internet

When I searched the web, I found that maybe these commands are not installed on the linux distribution of Pydroid3.

What to do?

How can I install all these package-managers in Pydroid3 terminal?

Or

Are there some different ways to install and manage packages there?

Or

Is there any other problem?

Note : my android device is not rooted

You were able run and install those Termux packages mentioned because Termux devs built (port) this packages for arm devices and other android cpu s and made them available through repositories hosted on Bintray.

https://dl.bintray.com/termux/termux-packages-24/{archurl}

Pydroid itself comes pre-built with some command line pacakges but doesn't host additional repositories which Termux does with its apt and pkg package managers.

The best you could compile this pacakges yourself if you have the source as pydroid comes with various command line compiler cc, c++,cmake, gfortran.

Another options is to use the pip package manager to install Python wrapper for some c libraries Pydroid offers.

All the best - Happy Coding!
