Setting up the Phone
====================

.. note:: This section is subject to updates and revisions prior to the phone's
          release.

This section should describe the steps needed to set up the Librem 5 phone for
application development. This includes any preparations related to the
hardware, such as connecting USB cables and ensuring that the phone is powered.

Software
--------

A package is available that is designed to help set up a development environment on the phone itself. This can be installed from a terminal, either using the built-in **Terminal** application or via an ``ssh`` connection into the phone, with the following command:

.. code:: bash

   apt install librem5-dev-tools

Installing this package should cause additional packages to be installed, containing tools and resources for application development.
