Installing PyPhisher on Termux

Setting up PyPhisher on Termux is straightforward, but each step plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth execution. Follow this guide carefully to install and run PyPhisher on your Termux environment.

Step 1: Update and Upgrade Termux Packages

Before installing any tool, it's always a good practice to update Termux packages to avoid compatibility issues. Run the following command:

pkg update && pkg upgrade -y

This ensures that your Termux environment has the latest package versions.

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

PyPhisher requires Git, Python3, Pip, PHP, and OpenSSH. These are essential for cloning the repository, running the script, and setting up the phishing pages. Install them using:

pkg install git python3 python-pip php openssh -y

Step 3: Clone the PyPhisher Repository

Once dependencies are installed, download PyPhisher by cloning its repository from GitLab:

git clone https://gitlab.com/KasRoudra/PyPhisher

This will create a new folder named PyPhisher in your Termux home directory.

Step 4: Navigate to the PyPhisher Directory

Move into the cloned PyPhisher directory:

cd PyPhisher

This step is necessary because the installation script and main Python file are located inside this folder.

Step 5: Install Python Dependencies

PyPhisher relies on additional Python libraries, which must be installed using pip. Run:

pip3 install -r files/requirements.txt

If you encounter permission errors while installing dependencies, try running:

pip3 install --break-system-packages -r files/requirements.txt

This option allows Termux to install packages even if there are system-level restrictions.

Step 6: Run PyPhisher

Now, you can launch PyPhisher using:

python3 pyphisher.py

It will ask you if you have loclx authtoken, if you don't have Type n and Enter

If everything is set up correctly, PyPhisher will start, and you will see a menu allowing you to choose a phishing template.

Alternative method via wget

Alternatively, you can directly download and run PyPhisher without cloning the repository:

wget https://gitlab.com/KasRoudra/PyPhisher/-/raw/main/pyphisher.py && python3 pyphisher.py

This method is useful if you want to quickly test PyPhisher without installing it permanently.

Alternative Installation via Pip

If you prefer installing PyPhisher as a Python package instead of cloning the repository, you can use pip:

pip3 install pyphisher

After installation, simply type:

pyphisher

This will launch the tool without needing to navigate to the cloned directory.
