Welcome back, fellow security enthusiasts! Termux, a free Terminal Emulator for Android has gained a lot of attention lately. The first thing that came to my mind after installing it was: Can it run our favorite Penetration Testing Tool Metasploit?! And sure enough, it can! One of the best parts is, it doesn’t even require a rooted device! The installation is also very easy, thanks to a script provided by a Github user named “Auxilus”. Let’s start, I’ll show you how to install Metasploit in Termux.
There are two ways to install it, using Auxilus’s script, or going the manual way. Out of convenience, we only cover the easy way here. If you want to go the Manual Route, click here.

Step 1 – Installing Termux
If you haven’t already, go ahead and install Termux first. Simply open the Google Play Store on Android and type “Termux” in the search field. Click Install to install it and Open to open it once it’s done.
Step 2 – Installing wget and downloading the Script
First, make sure you are in the home directory by typing:
cd $HOMECode language: PHP (php)Followed by:
pkg install wgetTo install wget.
Now we need to download Auxilus’s script from Github using wget:
wget https://github.com/gushmazuko/metasploit_in_termux/raw/master/metasploit.sh
chmod +x metasploit.shCode language: JavaScript (javascript)
Step 3 – Install Metasploit in Termux
To run the installer simply type:
bash metasploit.shCode language: CSS (css)Alternatively:
./metasploit.shThis starts the Metasploit installation, doing all the jobs for you-you otherwise would have to do manually.
Step 4 – Starting Metasploit
You are already done! To start Metasploit type:
msfconsole
Conclusion
How easy was that, right? Now you can run Metasploit from your Mobile Phone! I haven’t had time yet to dig deeper into it, but I’m definitely planning to try out a couple of things. I’m very interested if I can plug in my trusted ALFA AWUSH036H to my phone and run some Wi-Fi testing from there.
Once I get to test some stuff, future tutorials will follow. Stay tuned and stay curious!
Great post! I followed the steps you outlined, and the installation went smoothly. It’s impressive to see how powerful Metasploit can be on Termux without needing root access. Thanks for sharing such a detailed guide!
Great tutorial! I’m glad I don’t need root access to install Metasploit on my Termux device. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!
Great tutorial! I’ve been trying to get Metasploit working on my Termux environment for a while now, and this post was incredibly helpful. The steps were clear and easy to follow, and I was able to get Metasploit up and running without any issues. Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for sharing this easy-to-follow guide on installing Metasploit on Termux without root access! I’ve been trying to get Metasploit working on my Termux environment for a while now, and your post has helped me finally achieve it. The step-by-step instructions were very helpful, and I appreciate the screenshots for each step. This is definitely a game-changer for me and other Termux users. Great job!
Thanks to admin amazing work. I am ipressed to see your work keep it up great effort . I really aprreciate your work.
This is a great tutorial! I’m a new termux user and this was really helpful.
Lo instalé, ingreso el comando ./msfconsole y me dice No such file or directory. Cómo puedo iniciarlo?
Excellent article!
Please note that the script (https://github.com/gushmazuko/metasploit_in_termux/raw/master/metasploit.sh) contains some bad characters in lines 101 and 102 causing script failure. You can see them by opening that file in a hex editor.
Not too big a deal since the bulk of the work is already done by then and you can just fix that part of the script and re-run from there.
Hey John,
thanks for pointing that out!

Recent versions of Ruby have serious problem related to how Android’s linker works with shared libraries. We had to package Metasploit with all necessary fixes and now it is available in Unstable Termux repository. All other ways of Metasploit installation are no longer viable.
