## Building and installing using DKMS
|
||||
|
||||
This tree supports Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS), a system for
|
||||
generating kernel modules from out-of-tree kernel sources. It can be used to
|
||||
install/uninstall kernel modules, and the module will be automatically rebuilt
|
||||
from source when the kernel is upgraded (for example using your package manager).
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install DKMS and other required tools
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ apt-get install git linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Add the driver to DKMS. This will copy the source to a system directory so
|
||||
that it can used to rebuild the module on kernel upgrades.
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ dkms add .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Build and install the driver.
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to uninstall the driver at a later point, use
|
||||
_dkms uninstall rtl8192eu/1.0_. To completely remove the driver from DKMS use
|
||||
_dkms remove rtl8192eu/1.0_.
