UserLAnd is an open-source app which allows you to run several Linux distributions like Ubuntu,
Debian, and Kali.
- No need to root your device.
- Use a built-in terminal to access your favorite shells.

UserLAnd was created and is being actively maintained by the folks behind the popular Android

When UserLAnd first launches, it presents a list of common distributions and Linux applications.
Clicking one of these then leads to a series of set-up prompts. Once these have been completed,
UserLAnd will download and set up files required to start the task that has been selected. Based on
the set-up, you will then be connected to your Linux distribution or application in a terminal or
VNC viewing Android application.
