These tools can be installed in the device by activating the Fremantle tools repository in the Application manager. The tools are command line utilities, so they will not add applications to the application manager list of downloadable applications. This also means that the tools need to be installed from the X terminal [[Root access|as root]]. Developers can also install them in Scratchbox using the command line interface.
