Any chance I can download them and than offer them to termux?   You see, I 
have a deep-rooted wish to backup stuff like that.   System crashes and all 
that.

Thats some sort of Linux inside joke, isn't it ?  "You configure it".  I 
have *zero* information on either termux or any of those plugins, but I'm 
expected to configure them ?  How ? :-(

Yep, thats (in general) what I'm after. :-)


So, any chance that you know of any tutorial in regard to termux and its 
(program languages) plugins ?  I don't think I will even /try/ to install it 
without having anything to go on.
