Manual

First, install make using your package manager.

Clone the repo, then execute make install inside repo's directory.

Password-less setup

By default, root permissions are needed to write sysfs nodes used to control ideapad laptop parameters, but this extensions calls pkexec which asks for your password everytime to write those files. If you want to make it work without a password, you can follow these instructions.

First, create a group named ideapad_laptop and add yourself into that group:

groupadd ideapad_laptop
usermod -aG ideapad_laptop $USER

Then run sudo make tmpfiles-install inside repo's directory.
