 Manually flashing a device: How to install?
One way is to enroll for Android O Developer Preview, get the stable Android 8.0 Oreo OTA update and once installed, unroll the beta update. This is the fastest way to get the latest software update on Nexus and Pixel.
Go to Settings>System Updates and download and install the OTA updates. Alternatively, you can download the OTA zip files and full factory images and flash them manually. The OTA updates can be installed via Stock Recovery or via ADB sideload method.
Factory images, on the other hand, need the fastboot method to flash. See how to install Factory Images on Nexus devices (or go to this tutorial ).
