Installing NPAM in Termux:

Introduction:

Termux, a powerful terminal emulator and Linux environment for Android, allows users to leverage the full potential of their devices. If you're looking to manage user accounts and authentication on your Android device, NPAM (Ncurses PAM) is an essential package that provides an interactive interface for Pluggable Authentication Modules. In this blog post, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing NPAM in Termux, enabling you to efficiently manage user authentication.

Step 1: Install Termux

Begin by installing the Termux app, which can be found on the Google Play Store. Termux provides a complete Linux environment, empowering you to execute Linux commands and install packages on your Android device.

Step 2: Update and Upgrade

After successfully installing Termux, launch the app and run the following command to update the package lists and upgrade existing packages:

• pkg update && pkg upgrade

This command ensures that you have the latest version of Termux and its package manager, preventing any compatibility issues during the installation process.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

NPAM relies on several dependencies that must be installed prior to the compilation and installation process. Execute the following command to install these dependencies:

• pkg install ncurses-utils libpam-dev clang make

This command will install the necessary development headers, libraries, and compilers required for building NPAM.

Step 4: Download and Extract NPAM

Now, it's time to download the NPAM source code and extract it. Follow these commands one by one:

• wget https://github.com/tiago4orion/NPAM/archive/master.zip
• unzip master.zip
• cd NPAM-master

The first command retrieves the NPAM source code from its GitHub repository, while the second command extracts the downloaded zip file. Finally, the third command navigates into the extracted directory.

Step 5: Build and Install NPAM

With the source code at your disposal, proceed to compile and install NPAM by executing the following commands consecutively:

• make
• sudo make install

The first command compiles the NPAM source code, while the second command installs it. The `sudo` command is necessary to acquire superuser privileges for the installation process.

Step 6: Configure NPAM

After a successful installation, you need to configure NPAM to enable it for the desired services. Open the NPAM configuration file using your preferred text editor:

• nano /etc/npam.conf

Within this file, you can define NPAM modules and their parameters. Customize the configuration according to your specific requirements and save the file.

Step 7: Test NPAM

To ensure that NPAM is functioning correctly, you can perform a test by executing a command that requires authentication, such as using `sudo`:

• sudo ls

If NPAM is correctly configured, it will prompt you for a password before executing the command.

Conclusion:

By following these steps, you should now have NPAM successfully installed and configured within your Termux environment. NPAM offers a convenient way to manage Pluggable Authentication Modules through its interactive interface. Feel free to explore NPAM's capabilities further and modify its configuration to meet your specific needs. With Termux and powerful packages like NPAM, you can harness the versatility of a Linux environment on your Android device, empowering you to accomplish tasks on the go.
