## How do I install InkBox?
You can download precompiled OS/binaries [here](http://23.163.0.39/bundles/inkbox/native/) and standard Nickel add-ons are available [there](http://23.163.0.39/bundles/inkbox/nickel/), although support for them has been stopped until further notice. Huge thanks to [@fermino](https://github.com/fermino) for providing free hosting.

On PC, use [balenaEtcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/) to flash the InkBox image file to the Kobo's SD card.
On Windows, use [balenaEtcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/) to flash the InkBox image file to the Kobo's SD card.
On Linux and MacOS, [balenaEtcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/) is the easiest option for the terminal-shy people out there.
However, you can also open a terminal and check the device node of the Kobo's SD card with `sudo fdisk -l`. Then `dd` the image to the SD card like this:
On UNIX-like machines, you can also use balenaEtcher but flashing InkBox OS to your Kobo's SD card is as simple as entering in a terminal session, assuming that `inkbox.xz` is the file you downloaded and that `/dev/mmcblk0` is your SD card's device node (check with `sudo fdisk -l`:
```
xzcat inkbox.xz | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0
xzcat inkbox.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0
```
If you install the Nickel add-on, unpack the 'base' archive in the root of the onboard storage, not in any subfolder inside it.
