Change termux pkg to another name

[Inky1003]

I've installed npm's pkg and then I forgot that termux package manager is pkg also.

Can termux have another name for pkg? Or is there any way to install npm's pkg without overwriting termux pkg?

This is unlikely to be done. pkg is the official command for installing packages. In addition to this, pkg is just a bash script to manage apt, so you can use apt instead of pkg.

Got it. Thanks!

Hey!
You're able to change the pkg commands name, like this;
You type this to see the file location of your pkg script;

which pkg
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/pkg

And then you move that using the mv command to the same directory but you replace pkg with the desired name, in this example I changed the pkg to packg;

mv /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/pkg
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/packg

And then as you can see it works completely fine! ;

packg install python

Install and use apt-file to find out what package includes a specific file.
