I’m new in this forum.
My question is: How can I install Sailfish on my Pinephone 64?

Instructions are here?

Thanks for the link but I have tried that.
I’am using Linux Mint and I can’t install bsdtar. Package is not available is the error I get.
Probably I do something wrong but I do not know what?

libarchive-tools seems to be the package providing bsdtar: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/libarchive-tools/filelist

If you want to keep an sfos image available, you can make one from the flash-it.sh script. When asked which drive to use, type ‘raw’ and it will write the image to the folder containing flash-it.sh. Then you can use Etcher or whatever to flash to the pp.
