Updating

Enter the directory where you cloned the application initially and run git pull to update the application.

Then run pipenv install to make sure you have all new dependencies.

Allow Termux to run in the background

Go to your device status bar notifications, find Termux, press “Acquire wakelock”, which lets Termux run always so the program doesn’t get killed in the background.
