Installing /e/OS on Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 (gtaxllte)

Please help me to install this unofficial build of /e/OS 1.21.1-s on my stock T585 tablet.
Do I need to flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt from TWRP before flashing the ROM?
Thank you!

If you have linux installed on PC you may use heimdall to flash first the recovery (TWRP) on the tablet and then flash the ROM zip file with install option in TWRP. Here are the necessary steps:

For linux:

Copy ROM Image on an SD card and insert the card into the tablet.
Backup your data! Save the data to your computer or cloud service, not to your SD card.

On PC
As root install heimdall

apt-get install heimdall

On Tablet

  1. Enable Developer Options.

  2. Enable {unlock by OEM} and {USB debugging} options in Developer Options

  3. Power off your tablet.

  4. Press the {Power + Volume down + Home} buttons at the same time

  5. A warning window appears immediately: {A custom OS can cause critical problems…} - continue by pressing {Volume Up}.

  6. Insert the usb cable between the tablet and the computer.

  7. Or… if you want to spare the tablet buttons:
    $ adb reboot download

For that you must install
{android-tools} package or any other similar name has in your distribution.

On PC
7. Check if you have connection with the computer by command
$ heimdall detect

  1. If all is well you see confirmation
    Device detected

  2. Install twrp:
    $ heimdall flash --RECOVERY /path/to/recovery.img --no-reboot

Installation normally takes only a few seconds. On the tablet screen appear a white stripe and the terminal will display:

Initializing the connection…
Detection device…
Claiming interface…
Interface configuration…

Initialization protocol…
Initializing the protocol successfully.

Start session…

Some devices can take up to 2 minutes to respond.
Please be patient!

The session has begun.

Downloading the device’S PIT file…
Download PIT file successfully.

Recovery load
100%
Successful recovery load

Conclusion of the session…
Release of the device interface…

  1. The --no-reboot option is for the tablet not to restart immediately and rewrite the installed twrp. Press again the combination {Power + Volume Down + Home} and as soon as the tablet restarts press the combination {Power + Volume Up + Home} to enter recovery mode, where TWRP should appear.
    If twrp does not appear and the tablet starts the system, you will have to resume the twrp write operation from point 3.

  2. Swipe to Allow Modification

  3. Type Install > Select Storage > Micro SD card. Confirm with OK
    Check if you see the contents of the card with the ROM image.

  4. If you install for the first time revert to main menu:
    type Wipe > Format Data > type yes to continue and confirm.
    Warning! All contents of the tablet will be deleted. Did you save what was important on the tablet?

  5. Revert to main menu:
    type Install > select the ROM image > check one more time! > Swipe to confirm Flash

  6. Reboot

I don’t see anything special in the instructions given in the first post of the thread you linked :
