Trying to install graphene on pixel 8, using linux mint.  I got to the step labeled "Flashing as Non-Root" .  I am not a command line user, and i'm stuck.  Insyructions say to install android sdk platform tools common package.  How to do this?

 
 Oof. It's been a minute drive I've done this. You can look up the Linux package for the android SDK and download that. Depending on what kind of package it is, you'll either install it or unpack it so it can be run as a program.  
 Honestly, AI is your friend in this scenario. Ask it for help and then double check what the commands are doing before you send them.  
 If you have to double check, that's not help. 
 Yes, it's education. You ever heard of proof reading? It's definitely help.  
 huh? AI to flash Graphene?
come on dude. 
 What do you mean c'mon?  
 I mean dont make an easy process more complicated.

 AI can easily teach you a lot here and I was in my bed about to go to sleep. I don't have time to get up and walk someone through all the steps but AI is available on demand... I've made offers to help other people with more complex tasks in the past too but this is easy enough that AI could teach you a lot of the basics of Linux/android  
 Open a terminal and type : 

sudo apt install android-sdk-platform-tools 
 Thank you🙏 
 Most welcome ! You’ve got this ! 💪🏼 
 sudo apt update && sudo apt install android-sdk 
 Ok, that worked.  Now waiting for "obtaining factory images" to download.  Seems like its taking a while. 
 The android sdk is huge and takes forever.... 
 I'm zero help. I use command line and platform tools, no browser.
