Installation mod. for Antergos Linux (Arch Linux) #18

Open deejayingo opened 6 years ago

deejayingo commented 6 years ago

If you are installing that for arch linux, that worked for me (MSI GE 62 2QE Apache) I marked comments with '#'

update depend...

sudo pacman -Syu

install gcc, make & libhidapi-dev (it is included in hidapi)

sudo pacman -Sy gcc make hidapi

Switch to super user and type in the password (l is a small L)

su -l

Than as described in the README.md file (vim README.me) as follows:

cd MSIKLM //to change to the MSIKLM direction in your home folder make //to compile that stuff make clean //to clean up the temp files from the make process sudo mv -fv MSIKLM /usr/local/bin/msiklm //copy that folder to the local usr direction sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/msiklm //allow it to be executed sudo msiklm test //test sould say "device detected" sudo msiklm purple,green,blue wave //make the first color change ./autostart.sh purple,green,blue wave //activate the autostart with the colors you wish to have every day

Dont write the text after // - that is for comments. The msiklm-git didn't worked for me on antergos arch linux. The install.sh script neither -because debian commants like sudo apt install ... are useless on arch linux. I hope you have fun like me, thanks to the creator of that code.

Best regards,

Ingo

There is actually an AUR package for arch-like distros: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/msiklm-git/ So it would go:

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/msiklm-git.git
$ cd msiklm-git
$ makepkg -si

Or simply use your favourite AUR helper.
