• it will prompt for permission to access your android storage, allow it.
• something that termux users should note is that, file created outside storage/shared, your phone device cant access them only termux can access them, so incase you have a mobile editor for writting your code, you would love to make it acccessible.
• to do that you will have to make termux point to storage/shared
• so do cd storage/shared
