Partition Manager Installatation Guide

In this guide, I will give a tutorial on how to install pmt.

On Termux

The simplest installation in this guide is the one to be performed on termux. Because I wrote a script for it...

• First of all, if it is not installed, you should install termux from F-Droid (I recommend F-Droid).
• In general (if you have installed termux for the first time), it is recommended to update the packages. You can use the command below;

     pkg update && pkg upgrade -y

• Now all you have to do is download the script.

     curl -LSs https://github.com/ShawkTeam/pmt/raw/3.0.2/pmt-termux.sh > pmt-termux.sh

• You need to prepare your environment. The script can do this for you;

     bash pmt-termux.sh setup

• Now, install pmt on Termux...

     bash pmt-termux.sh install

• To get information about the script (usage etc.);

     bash pmt-termux.sh --help

• From now on, you can use pmt on termux. If you reinstall termux or clear its memory, you need to install it again with these steps.
• For proper use of pmt, you need to use tsu. tsu works in a Termux environment, compared to the 'su' command. We need this too. So, you should use 'tsu' instead of 'su' command for root access.

     tsu
     # You have now accessed root!

     # If you don't want to go to the root environment exactly, you can run one-time root-accessible commands with sudo
     sudo <commands>

     # Example:
     sudo pmt --help

NOTES:

• You must be connected to the Internet when performing these operations.
• Root access is not required during the installation process, do not use it!

On Custom Recovery

You have 2 options for installing pmt on recovery (one-time)...

• With PC, needed a compatibility cable.
• Installing it in a recovery that can decrypt internal storage.

Installing with PC

• You need to install platform tools or minimal ADB on your computer. And of course, both USB drives (you should find them).
• You should download and extract pmt from publications (there are many programs that can do this).
• Enter the recovery mode on the device. Connect the USB cable. Make sure that the device is connected.

     adb devices

• Now, we need to send the pmt to the device and set permissions.

     # Send to device
     adb push <PMT_FILE_PATH> /system/bin/pmt

     # Set permissions for pmt
     adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/pmt

• Now you can use pmt with the adb shell or via the recovery terminal.

NOTES:

• You can easily learn how to use ADB from videos on youtube or guides on the Internet.

Non-PC installing method

• You should download and extract pmt from publications (there are many programs that can do this, example: ZArchiver).
• The file you are extracting must be in internal storage!
• Enter the recovery mode and go to the terminal;

     cp /sdcard/pmt /system/bin
     chmod 755 /system/bin/pmt

• Now you can use pmt with the adb shell or via the recovery terminal.

NOTES:

• Make sure the internal storage is mounted! In short, you can understand this as follows: do the files in the internal storage appear?

General Notes
