If you wish to do any development against the core codebase (generate pull requests, etc.), you can also optionally

install the Adafruit nRF52 BSP manually using 'git', as decribed below:

This step is only required on Linux, pre-built binaries of adafruit-nrfutil for Windows and MacOS are already

included in the BSP. That should work out of the box for most setups.

$ sudo apt-get install python3

$ pip3 install --user adafruit-nrfutil

$ adafruit-nrfutil version
