How to install mtkclient on linux
run this command on debian based distros (ubuntu, mint, etc)
sudo apt install python3 git libusb-1.0-0 python3-pip
or this command on arch based distros (endeavor, manjaro, etc)
sudo pacman -S python3 git libusb-1.0-0 python3-pip
This will download everything needed for the rest of the guide.
Then run these commands
git clone https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
cd mtkclient
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install
they will clone the program and set it up through a python script for you. After you've done that, you'll need to run the last commands and you're set
sudo usermod -a -G plugdev $USER
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
sudo cp Setup/Linux/*.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
sudo udevadm control -R
Not sure what these do tbh, but they're needed after you've done all that just reboot (use reboot
on terminal or just do it through the UI)
After you've done that, you can go back to the normal guide
