4 | |||
5 | 14 | Paul Kocialkowski | In order to install Replicant on your device, it is assumed that you have a computer running a GNU/Linux operating system, a spare microSD card (at least 1GB) and everything necessary to connect the card to the computer. Moreover, it is assumed that anyone performing the installation knows how to use command lines in a terminal and has basic knowledge about it. |

7 | h2. Downloading the files |
||
8 | |||
9 | The first step in the installation process is to download and set up the files that will be used to install Replicant to the device. The files must be downloaded on your computer first. |
||
10 | |||
11 | 1. Find out what the latest image is: check out the @Last image@ part of the general table on [[GTA04]] |
||
12 | 2. Download *all* the files listed for the device (including the checksum and the signatures) on [[ReplicantImages]] for the latest image |
||
13 | 2. Make sure you have added the [[ReplicantReleaseKey|Replicant release key]] to your GPG keyring |
||
14 | 3. Check the signature of the files: |
||
15 | 1 | Paul Kocialkowski | <pre> |
16 | 21 | Paul Kocialkowski | gpg --armor --verify path/to/replicant-4.2-gta04.zip.img.asc path/to/replicant-4.2-gta04.zip |
17 | gpg --armor --verify path/to/bootable.zip.asc path/to/bootable.zip |
||
18 | gpg --armor --verify path/to/replicant_gta04_install.sh.asc path/to/replicant_gta04_install.sh |
||
19 | 13 | Paul Kocialkowski | </pre> |
20 | 4. Make sure the check succeeds, *do not install anything if it doesn't*! |
||
21 | 5. Check the checksum of the files: |
||
22 | <pre> |
||
23 | 1 | Paul Kocialkowski | md5sum -c gta04.md5 |
24 | </pre> |
||
25 | 6. Make sure the check succeeds, *do not install anything if it doesn't*! |
