Solution

  • Solve Termux repository is under maintenance or down issue

    There are mainly 2 options to solve this issue:

    Solution 1:

    If possible, use Termux from F-Droid because there are some problems with the one from Google Play.

    Solution 2:

    If you are unable to update or install any package in termux then you can follow the below method to solve this issue.

    1. First of all type the below command: 
    termux-change-repo

    1. Now You will see the main repo will be already selected and you just have to check all ( select all ) gaming as well as the science repo and then tap on the OK button.

    2. Now you have to switch from official repo to Alberto repo just select the Alberto Repo and tap on OK Button and the problem will be sloved.
      p.s. If Alberto is not working, then try switching to other repos.
