==== Download pmbootstrap ====
git clone https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap.git

==== Test installation ====
 
To test that pmbootstrap is installed correctly, open a new terminal and run
pmbootstrap --version
 
If this returns something like <code>pmbootstrap: command not found</code> instead of a version number, ensure that the following lines are in <code>~/.profile</code>, then open a new terminal and try again
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
fi
