Obtaining fastboot

You need an updated copy of the fastboot tool and the directory containing it needs to be included in the PATH environment variable. You can run fastboot --version to determine the current version. It must be at least 29.0.6. You can use a distribution package for this, but most of them mistakenly package development snapshots of fastboot, clobber the standard version scheme for platform-tools (adb, fastboot, etc.) with their own scheme and don't keep it up-to-date despite that being crucial.

On Arch Linux, install android-tools and skip the section below on using the standalone release of platform-tools from Android:

sudo pacman -S android-tools

Debian and Ubuntu do not have a usable package for fastboot. Their packages for these tools are both broken and many years out-of-date. Follow the instructions below for platforms without a proper package.

Standalone platform-tools

If your operating system doesn't include a usable version of fastboot, you can use the official standalone releases of platform-tools. This is our recommendation for most users. The flashing process won't work unless you follow these instructions including setting up PATH.

To download, verify and extract the standalone platform-tools on Debian and Ubuntu:

sudo apt install libarchive-tools
curl -O https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r30.0.5-linux.zip
echo 'd6d72d006c03bd55d49b6cef9f00295db02f0a31da10e121427e1f4cb43e7cb9  platform-tools_r30.0.5-linux.zip' | sha256sum -c
bsdtar xvf platform-tools_r30.0.5-linux.zip

To download, verify and extract the standalone platform-tools on macOS:

curl -O https://dl.google.com/android/repository/eabcd8b4b7ab518c6af9c941af8494072f17ec4b.platform-tools_r30.0.5-darwin.zip
echo 'SHA256 (eabcd8b4b7ab518c6af9c941af8494072f17ec4b.platform-tools_r30.0.5-darwin.zip) = e5780bad71a53cf9d693e1053a0748f49e4a67cc1f71d16a94ab4c943af3345f' | shasum -c
tar xvf eabcd8b4b7ab518c6af9c941af8494072f17ec4b.platform-tools_r30.0.5-darwin.zip

To download, verify and extract the standalone platform-tools on Windows:

curl -O https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows.zip
(Get-FileHash platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows.zip).hash -eq "549ba2bdc31f335eb8a504f005f77606a479cc216d6b64a3e8b64c780003661f"
tar xvf platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows.zip

Next, add the tools to your PATH in the current shell so they can be used without referencing them by file path, enabling usage by the flashing script.

On Debian, Ubuntu and macOS:

export PATH="$PWD/platform-tools:$PATH"

On Windows:

$env:Path = "$pwd\platform-tools;$env:Path"
