Working fine so far on Meizu pro 5

@stefano
I think I have an old laptop with 16.04 on

I'll give it a try

Thanks for info

Hi i'm Jonathan from the U.K
I own a meizu pro 5 and use netrunner and ubuntu on my pc/laptop etc

career wise i install and test railway signalling equipment

started off in the early 1980's with sinclair zx81, spectrum ,vic 20 ,dragon 32 and BBC model b computers and the usual Atari 2600 and colecovision consoles

after a a fair few years i am getting back into it with linux and starting to teach myself programming

i aim to have a go at programming for Apps

Got it installed finally

I had to make a live usb of 16.04 and run it on my pc ,i then followed the instructions provided by @Stefano

Up and running with 16.04 now ..At last !!!

Great thanks to you all for the Advice

I'm thinking of purchasing a cheap nexus online which is locked to a providers network ,it's currently got android installed
My intentions are to port a version of ubports to it , would this then make the phone unlocked from it's network ??

Thanks

Revised command worked .. now installed and working
