Running the Installation Script

After setting up Termux, you can now proceed with installing the mining software using the following command:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dismaster/RG3DUI/main/install.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 && chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh

This command downloads the installation script from the RG3DUI GitHub repository, sets the necessary permissions, and runs it.
