How do i start arch linux from termux

Thanks for posting. There are a number of ways you can start Arch Linux in Termux.

1. Run ~/arch/startarch at the bash prompt. The bash shell interpreter is important!
2. Run startarch if you chose "copy to $PATH" during install. The bash shell interpreter is important!
3. Run chsh and change your login shell to startarch. Option 2 is required for this option to run correctly. When you open a session in Termux, it will login to Arch Linux. Important to undo this change and return to your Termux login, delete .termux/shell since chsh will be unavailable in Arch Linux to change your login shell.

These are three options. Certainly there a more ways to start an Arch Linux login in Termux on device. For the beginner CLI (Command Line Interface) user, option 2 "copy to $PATH during install" is recommended.

@SDRausty Where is the "copy to $PATH" option? I don't remember being prompted for anything.

[SDRausty]

@seanparsons this option is now on by default. For armv5-8 architectures all prompts have been automated enabling one tap installation. This means option 2 has already been set for you, and startarch is copied to your path.

@SDRausty Using chsh doesn't seem to work, it seems like it's not available to the login script.
