Installing pmbootstrap is easy; simply run "pip3 install pmbootstrap" in your terminal. If you don't have pip3 installed, follow this: https://opensource.com/article/20/3/pip-...ac-windows

This page explains how to install PostmarketOS to the internal eMMC; it uses a program called Jumpdrive that's flashed to the SD card. https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE6...stallation

Thanks
Personally I'm using a SanDisk Ultra MicroSDXC, it was only $20 for 200GB and works perfectly fine with the PinePhone. But you may want to do your research on this one to find a better deal or option.
EDIT: bitnick's post is great, you should get the one that he recommends (or something else high on the benchmarks like the Samsung Evo+).
