Quick fix for a key signing error when using Termux API.

The Problem

Installed Termux from F-Droid, then installed Termux:API via command line:

pkg install termux-api

When attempting to use the API (e.g., termux-storage-get), encountered a key signing error preventing the API from functioning.

The Solution

Install Termux:API from F-Droid, not via pkg install.

Both Termux and Termux:API must come from the same source (F-Droid) to have matching signatures.

The Steps

1. Open F-Droid
2. Search for “Termux:API”
3. Install the Termux:API app
4. The command-line tools will now work correctly
