# Installing And Using PMT via Termux or ADB
|
||
|
||
This guide shows you how to use PMT with Termux and ADB. After that, you might want to read [USAGE.md](./USAGE.md)!
|
||
|
||
## Using PMT via Termux
|
||
|
||
This part of the guide explains how to download and install PMT with **Termux**.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 📋 Requirements
|
||
- Termux app from [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.termux) or [GitHub](https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases).
|
||
- DO NOT INSTALL TERMUX FROM PLAY STORE!
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 🚀 Step-by-Step Usage
|
||
|
||
#### 1️⃣ Prepare Termux
|
||
|
||
If you haven't already, it's highly recommended that you allow internal storage usage. After all, I'm sure you'll want to keep your backups/flashbacks, etc., there.
|
||
```bash
|
||
termux-setup-storage
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### 2️⃣ Install PMT
|
||
|
||
You can easily install PMT with the ready-made script!
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Download PMT's installer script for termux
|
||
curl -LSs "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ShawkTeam/pmt-renovated/refs/heads/main/manager.sh" > manager.sh
|
||
|
||
# Start script!
|
||
bash manager.sh install
|
||
|
||
# Now, PMT is ready for usage if no error occurred. Try running:
|
||
pmt --help
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Do you want to uninstall...?
|
||
|
||
Only run script via this command:
|
||
```bash
|
||
bash manager.sh uninstall
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Using PMT via ADB
|
||
|
||
This part of the guide will show you how to use the **static** version of Partition Manager Tool (`pmt-static`) on your Android device through **ADB**.
|
||
It’s written for beginners — no advanced knowledge needed.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 📦 Why Static Version?
|
||
The **static** build of PMT contains everything it needs inside one single file.
|
||
This means you can run it directly on your Android device **without** installing extra libraries.
|
||
Perfect for quick tasks via ADB.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 📋 Requirements
|
||
- **ADB installed** on your computer
|
||
(Part of the Android SDK Platform Tools — [Download here](https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools))
|
||
- **USB Debugging enabled** on your phone
|
||
(Settings → Developer options → Enable USB debugging)
|
||
- Your **phone connected via USB** and recognized by ADB
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 🚀 Step-by-Step Usage
|
||
|
||
#### 1️⃣ Get the Correct Binary
|
||
Download the **`pmt-static`** file that matches your device’s architecture:
|
||
- **`pmt-static-arm64-v8a`** → For 64-bit devices
|
||
- **`pmt-static-armeabi-v7a`** → For 32-bit devices
|
||
|
||
Unzip the downloaded `.zip` file — you should now have a `pmt` binary.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
#### 2️⃣ Push the Binary to Your Device
|
||
Use ADB to copy the `pmt` file to your phone’s temporary folder:
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Rename for more easily usage
|
||
mv pmt_static pmt
|
||
|
||
adb push pmt /data/local/tmp/pmt
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### 3️⃣ Open an ADB Shell
|
||
Access your device shell:
|
||
```bash
|
||
adb shell
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### 4️⃣ Change to the Directory
|
||
Move into the temporary directory where pmt is stored:
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd /data/local/tmp
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### 5️⃣ Give Execute Permission
|
||
Allow the binary to be executed:
|
||
```bash
|
||
chmod 755 pmt
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### 6️⃣ Run PMT
|
||
You can now run PMT directly from this directory:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Open root terminal
|
||
su
|
||
|
||
./pmt --help
|
||
```
|
||
Example — Back up the boot partition:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./pmt backup boot
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### 💡 Tips
|
||
Commands must be run from /data/local/tmp unless you move pmt elsewhere.\
|
||
The /data/local/tmp folder is cleared when you reboot your device.\
|
||
Static builds are completely standalone — no missing library issues.
