Dear MicroG

The instructions https://lineage.microg.org/ say

Before installing the ZIP you should check that it has the correct signature. You have to use a Python script to verify the signature, available here. Install Python 3 (if not already done) and the required packages (as explained in the README), then run:

python3 update_verifier.py lineageos4microg_pubkey lineage-microG.zip

I have no experience of verifying signatures.

I have no experience of python.

I think I have downloaded and installed Python 3 correctly.

I have downloaded the microG zip.

Could you talk me through the steps to check the signature please ?

In case it’s important - I am using macOS 10.13

Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL

      Dear K

      I tried to flash the recovery, but it wouldn’t read the file.

      Then I remembered what you taught me about changing the directory.

      I thought, " Could it hurt to cd into Downloads to tell it where the file is ? "

      I ran the CLI command and it flashed the recovery no problem.

      The same with the adb sideload.

      And now I have LOS4MG on my S4.

      Thanks for taking the time to help me.

      Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL

        Great to hear.

        You can always address files via absolute or relative paths.

        Relative:

        cd /Users/rommmelll/Downloads/
adb sideload lineageos-recovery.img

        or absolute:

        adb sideload /Users/rommmelll/Downloads/lineageos-recovery.img

        Maybe you want to learn a little more about paths to understand how to reference files.

        I suggest you read a little further on that topic and play around with the terminal. Find some tutorial videos if that works better for you.
