## What it is
A shell script that installs a Kali Linux rootfs on Android devices via Termux using proot, without requiring root access. It is a lightly modified fork of the AnLinux install script with storage mounting and output improvements.

## Use cases
- install kali linux on android without root
- run penetration testing tools on a phone
- set up a linux chroot environment in termux
- use kali tools on android via proot
- get a portable security toolkit on mobile

## When to choose
- you want Kali Linux tooling on an Android device with no root access
- you need a lightweight, script-based install that runs entirely in Termux
- you want access to internal storage from the Kali environment

## When to avoid
- you need a real kernel-level Kali installation with full hardware access
- you want an officially supported or maintained distribution image
- you are on a non-Android platform
