Sailfish OS

Download location

The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the flashing script.

The script downloads the image and bootloader from our CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.

Instructions:

1. Download the flashing script

2. Insert a microSD card in your device

3. Make the script executable: chmod +x flash-it.sh

4. Execute it: ./flash-it.sh

5. Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).

Note: The script will format and flash the SD card, make sure that you don't have any important data on the SD card!
