How to properly install android-tools in Fedora

Currently, it seems as if Fedora doesn't install udev-rules, to get this working, I've had to manually install them from a community project. I'm not very knowledgable in Linux, these are just the steps I had to do to get things working that I'd like to document.

Install android-tools

Install android-tools from DNF.

sudo dnf install android-tools

Install udev-rules

We'll be using this project.

Follow the instructions in the README of the project. Use the commands from the 'other distro' section and paste them in.

Do not use the automatic installer, it doesn't seem to work for fastboot.

I am not able to verify the authenticity of this project. It seems safe ATM;

Replug your devices

You might have to replug your devices, if that doesn't work, try rebooting, or even turning off your PC completely and out of power before turning on and replugging.

If you're trying to use ADB on a device that has USB restrictions, depending on the OS, you might have to replug with the device unlocked.
