h1. Tools installation This page explains how to install the various tools used with Replicant. It is assumed that you are running a GNU/Linux operating system. h2. ADB ADB can be installed from the repositories of your GNU/Linux distribution (if available) or from our released tools. Note: you may need to run ADB as root if your current user doesn't have USB access privileges. h3. From GNU/Linux distributions repositories h4. Debian <pre> sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb </pre> h4. Parabola <pre> sudo pacman -S android-tools android-udev </pre> h3. From our released tools 1. Download the @adb@ tool, the @adb.asc@ signature and the checksum from [[ReplicantImages]] for the latest image 2. Make sure you have added the [[ReplicantReleaseKey|Replicant release key]] of the latest version to your GPG keyring 3. Check the signature of the @adb@ tool: <pre> gpg --armor --verify path/to/adb.asc path/to/adb </pre> 4. Make sure the check succeeds, *do not run the binary if it doesn't*! 5. Check the checksum of the @adb@ tool: <pre> sha256sum -c tools.sha256 </pre> 6. Make sure the check succeeds for @adb@, *do not run the binary if it doesn't*! As @adb@ is built as a 32 bit binary, you will need to install compatibility libraries for 32 bits executables if your computer is running on a 64 bit architecture. 7. Make sure @adb@ can be executed: <pre> chmod a+x adb </pre> h2. Fastboot Fastboot can be installed from the repositories of your GNU/Linux distribution (if available) or from our released tools. Note: you may need to run fastboot as root if your current user doesn't have USB access privileges. h3. From GNU/Linux distributions repositories h4. Debian <pre> sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot </pre> h3. From our released tools 1. Download the @fastboot@ tool, the @fastboot.asc@ signature and the checksum from [[ReplicantImages]] for the latest image 2. Make sure you have added the [[ReplicantReleaseKey|Replicant release key]] of the latest version to your GPG keyring 3. Check the signature of the @fastboot@ tool: <pre> gpg --armor --verify path/to/fastboot.asc path/to/fastboot </pre> 4. Make sure the check succeeds, *do not run the binary if it doesn't*! 5. Check the checksum of the @fastboot@ tool: <pre> sha256sum -c tools.sha256 </pre> 6. Make sure the check succeeds for @fastboot@, *do not run the binary if it doesn't*! As @fastboot@ is built as a 32 bit binary, you will need to install compatibility libraries for 32 bits executables if your computer is running on a 64 bit architecture. 7. Make sure @fastboot@ can be executed: <pre> chmod a+x fastboot </pre> h2. Heimdall Heimdall can be installed from the repositories of your GNU/Linux distribution (if available) or from our released tools. Note: you may need to run heimdall as root if your current user doesn't have USB access privileges. h3. From GNU/Linux distributions repositories h4. Debian <pre> sudo apt-get install heimdall-flash </pre> h4. Parabola <pre> sudo pacman -S heimdall </pre> h3. From our released tools 1. Download the @heimdall@ tool, the @heimdall.asc@ signature and the checksum from [[ReplicantImages]] for the latest image 2. Make sure you have added the [[ReplicantReleaseKey|Replicant release key]] of the latest version to your GPG keyring 3. Check the signature of the @heimdall@ tool: <pre> gpg --armor --verify path/to/heimdall.asc path/to/heimdall </pre> 4. Make sure the check succeeds, *do not run the binary if it doesn't*! 5. Check the checksum of the @heimdall@ tool: <pre> sha256sum -c tools.sha256 </pre> 6. Make sure the check succeeds for @heimdall@, *do not run the binary if it doesn't*! As @heimdall@ is built as a 32 bit binary, you will need to install compatibility libraries for 32 bits executables if your computer is running on a 64 bit architecture. 7. Make sure @heimdall@ can be executed: <pre> chmod a+x heimdall </pre> h2. mkbootimg and unpackbootimg @mkbootimg@ and @unpackbootimg@ can be installed from the repositories of your GNU/Linux distribution (if available) or from our released tools. Note: Older versions of @unpackbootimg@ are called @unbootimg@ and behave differently. h3. From our released tools 1. Download the @mkbootimg@ and @unpackbootimg@ tools, the @mkbootimg.asc@ and @unpackbootimg.asc@ signatures and the checksum from [[ReplicantImages]] for the latest image 2. Make sure you have added the [[ReplicantReleaseKey|Replicant release key]] of the latest version to your GPG keyring 3. Check the signature of the @mkbootimg@ and @unpackbootimg@ tools: <pre> gpg --armor --verify path/to/mkbootimg.asc path/to/mkbootimg gpg --armor --verify path/to/unpackbootimg.asc path/to/unpackbootimg </pre> 4. Make sure the checks succeed, *do not run the binaries if they don't*! 5. Check the checksum of the tools: <pre> sha256sum -c tools.sha256 </pre> 6. Make sure the check succeeds for @mkbootimg@ and @unpackbootimg@, *do not run the binary if it doesn't*! As @mkbootimg@ and @unpackbootimg@ are built as 32 bit binaries, you will need to install compatibility libraries for 32 bits executables if your computer is running on a 64 bit architecture. 7. Make sure @mkbootimg@ and @unpackbootimg@ can be executed: <pre> chmod a+x mkbootimg chmod a+x unpackbootimg </pre>
