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> apt-get install android-tools-adb </pre> h4. Parabola <pre> pacman -S android-tools </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 md5sum -c tools.sha256 tools.md5 </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> apt-get install android-tools-fastboot </pre> h3. From our released tools 1.

Check the checksum of the @fastboot@ tool: <pre> sha256sum md5sum -c tools.sha256 tools.md5 </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), from our released tools or from the developer's website.
