### Factory Images Method

Factory Images are one of the easier way to install a image onto a device, and is reccomended for new users. It is similar to the fastboot method, but all the binary objects and a flashall.sh script are provided in a single zip file, so one doesn't need to make sure they have the right versions of various binary images, nor remember which order might be required to flash images.

This method requires the following hardware:

- HiKey with power supply
- Host machine (Linux, Possibly MacOS?)
- USB to microUSB cable
- HDMI Monitor with full size HDMI cable (not required to perform flash)

Go to the [Downloads page](../Downloads/README.md) to get your Factory Image zip file.
