+
+Please note, that this is a fun tutorial. It is questionable how useful it is to use Ink/Stitch on a phone. The installation may crash often. We do not offer special support for it.
+{: .notice--warning }
+
+This tutorial is a bit technical and directed to experienced users. We will use Termux to setup a Linux Desktop on which we can use Inkscape and Ink/Stitch.
+
+On this page you can find a simple installation walkthrough. More in depth information can be found here: [Termux](https://github.com/LinuxDroidMaster/Termux-Desktops), [Termux X11](https://github.com/termux/termux-x11)
+
+We want to thank [LinuxDroidMaster](https://github.com/LinuxDroidMaster) for the hard work on the script which enables us to make this work.
+
+## Install
+
+In our example we are going to use proot, arch linux and xfce desktop. Read through the above mentioned documentation to decide what you want to use.
+{: .notice--info }
+
+* We start by installing [Termux](https://termux.dev/), if not already in use.
+
+* In Termux install packages to run Linux for Termux and Android. Run these commands in Termux command line
+
+  ```
+  pkg update
+  pkg upgrade
+  ```
+
+  ```
+  pkg install x11-repo termux-x11-nightly tur-repo pulseaudio proot-distro wget git vim
+  ```
+
+* Download and install the termux-x11 app for Android from [termux-x11 nightly release](https://github.com/termux/termux-x11/releases/tag/nightly). Use the file `debug-universal.apk`.
+
+* To install linux with proot-distro use the following command
+
+  ```
+  proot-distro install archlinux
+  ```
+
+* Login to archlinux container
+
+  ```
+  proot-distro login archlinux
+  ```
+
+* Now we are inside of the arch installation. Let's update the system
+
+  ```
+  pacman -Syu
+  ```
+
+* Install sudo
+
+  ```
+  pacman -S sudo
+  ```
+
+* Create user
+
+  ```
+  useradd -m -G wheel username
+  passwd username
+  ```
+
+  Insert the following line into `/etc/sudoers`
+
+  ```
+  username ALL=(ALL) ALL
+  ```
+
+* Install xfce and inkscape. You can of course choose an other desktop environment if you want.
+
+  ```
+  pacman -S xfce4 inkscape
+  ```
+
+* Leave arch linux container
+
+  ```
+  exit
+  ```
+
+* Back in termux get the script to run the xfce
+
+  ```
+  wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LinuxDroidMaster/Termux-Desktops/main/scripts/proot_arch/startxfce4_arch.sh
+  ```
+
+  Make the script executable
+
+  ```
+  chmod +x startxfce4_arch.sh
+  ```
+
+  Edit the script to adapt it to your username
+
+  ```
+  vim startxfce4_arch.sh
+  ```
+
+  Replace the username `droidmaster` to your own username in this line
+
+  ```
+  proot-distro login archlinux --shared-tmp -- /bin/bash -c  'export PULSE_SERVER=127.0.0.1 && export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=${TMPDIR} && su - droidmaster -c "env DISPLAY=:0 startxfce4"'
+  ```
+
+  On many phones you might encounter a black screen when the script is running.
+  If this happens to you, replace `termux-x11 :0 >/dev/null &` with
+
+  ```
+  termux-x11 :0 -legacy-drawing >/dev/null &
+  ```
+
+  Save and exit vim
+
+* Run the script and it will start up the xfce
+
+  ```
+  ./startxfce4_arch.sh
+  ```
+
+* We already installed Inkscape. So open it once, then close again.
+
+  [Download Ink/Stitch for arm64](https://github.com/inkstitch/inkstitch-linux-arm64/releases/latest) and install as usual (copy to extensions folder).
