:small_red_triangle:The first thing you’ll want to do is install BusyBox – either directly from Google Play store, or the Magisk BusyBox module if you’re rooted with MagiskSU.
If you install BusyBox from the Google Play store, you just need to download the app, launch it, and hit the “Install” button from inside the app.
If you’re rooted with MagiskSU, you need to launch Magisk Manager and go to Settings, then enable the “Enable Busybox” button,
which will utilize Magisk’s built-in BusyBox for your device.
What BusyBox does is allow your Android system to use Linux commands normally not accessible to you – many root apps depend on this.

Choose your Linux distro to install.
There’s quite a large list, but the most user-friendly would be Ubuntu.
Distribution suite
Choose a version of the Linux distro you selected above.
Architecture
Do not change this, it is automatically selected based on your device.
Image size (MB)
The default is 512, but you should change this to a higher available number. Just don’t enter a number greater than 4095mb.
SSH Settings
You’ll need to change the default port of 22 here, but Android devices can only use ports about 1024. Most users would opt for port 2222.
Custom mounts
If you want to access your Android filesystem from within the Linux distro, go to “Mount points” and choose the ones you need. If you cannot enable the internal storage, change the default storage mount /storage/emulated/0 to /data/media/0.

- LibreOffice – apt-get install libreoffice
- Firefox – apt-get install iceweasel
- Python Idle – apt-get install idle
- GIMP – apt-get install gimp
- DropBox – apt-get install nautilus-dropbox
