postmarketOS is a preconfigured version of [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] for mobile devices that offers a choice of several desktop environments including Plasma Mobile and Phosh.
postmarketOS extends [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] to run on smartphones and other mobile devices.
It offers various user interfaces (Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo, Plasma Desktop, Gnome 3, Kodi, XFCE4, ...).


'''Download location'''
As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo. The official images come in two flavors, either as demo image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.


Automatic stable releases (currently v20.05) can be found [https://images.postmarketos.org/bpo/v20.05/pine64-pinephone/ here].
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:
* encrypt your installation
* install from the SD card to eMMC


Automatic edge (unstable) releases can be found [https://images.postmarketos.org/bpo/edge/pine64-pinephone/ here].
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool <code>pmbootstrap</code>.


Manual released images can be found [https://images.postmarketos.org/pinephone/ here], as well as additional information and resources.
Please read the detailed [https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PinePhone_(pine64-pinephone)#Installation installation instructions] in the wiki.


Rather than downloading a prebuilt image, postmarketOS also offers the option to tailor and build your own image using their installer, [https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Installation_guide pmbootstrap]. It offers an option [https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PinePhone_(pine64-pinephone)#Installation to install to the eMMC], can select other user interfaces that is not automaticcally bulit, and apply full disk encryption.

This is for demo images only - when building an image with pmbootstrap, you set your own username and password. The Phosh lock screen requires your password, but it only presents a numeric keyboard, so you should use '''only''' numbers in your password.
