### nrfutil
**All**: Open a terminal and install [nrfutil](https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-nrfutil) as follows. *If you are familiar with python, it is advised to do this in a [virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html).*
``` console
$ pip install nrfutil
(..)
$ nrfutil version
nrfutil version 6.1.0
```
**NOTE** as of version 6.1.0 nrfutil indicates that it does "not" support Python 3.9 in its pip manifest. Due to this, the above `pip install` command will fail if you have a Python 3.9 interpreter installed. Here's how to work around the issue:
*start of nrfutil python 3.9 workaround*
``` console
$ # these steps can also be done via a graphical interface
$ # fetch the source code of version 6.1.0
$ # or instead of curl you can enter the URL into your web browser
$ curl -LO https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-nrfutil/archive/v6.1.zip
$ # unzip the code
$ unzip v6.1.zip
$ # go into the new folder
$ cd pc-nrfutil-6.1
```
Apply the following 2 patches (can also be done manually by editing these 2 files: `requirements.txt` and `setup.py`)
