<p dir="auto">I followed the manuals on <a href="https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/18896094650513-How-to-manually-install-Android-on-your-Fairphone" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">this Fairphone website</a> and <a href="https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/10492476238865-How-to-unlock-and-re-lock-the-bootloader" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">this</a>. On the phone I got the message "Bootloader is already unlocked".<br />
Then I start the script <code>flash_fp5_factory.sh</code> from the package FP5-TT4H-factory from Fairphone.<br />
I got this message:</p>
<pre><code>INFO: The procedure will start soon. Please wait...
INFO: The package type is "user-factory"
INFO: You are using a Linux distribution.
ERROR: The 'fastboot' tool is not available.
ERROR: Please install the tool using your package manager.
ERROR: Aborting now (press Enter to terminate).
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">In the shellscript "flash_fp5_factory.command"  I see these lines:</p>
<pre><code>Linux|GNU/Linux)
            echo "INFO: You are using a Linux distribution."
            # Find fastboot, abort if not available.
            FASTBOOT_BIN=$(which fastboot) || {
                echo -en "$RED"
                echo "ERROR: The 'fastboot' tool is not available."
                echo "ERROR: Please install the tool using your package manager."
                abort_now
            }
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Does that mean that I also have to install the fastboot package on my PC?</p>
