Should I root my phone?

I am trying to create a new virtual environment .But I get permission denied because symlink file is not allowed by android. I have tried everything .The only solution seems to be to root my phone .But their are risks to it .So should I do it or is there a temporary root. Or is it safer to just ran my project without virtual environment.What should I do?

You can use magisk to do a "systemless" root. Safer and revertable if you keep backups and are careful if you don't know what you're doing. Virtual enviornments are usually better. Although i usually use them on a pc. What does the script do that you need to run it on a VM?

How do I specify the required permission.What is a Manifest file?. By different storage devices do you mean like 32GB devices and 62GB devices? Martin Taylor
