From 5e7be13d8d4859fda45d8eab7c52d26b4231ed7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Mark D. Studebaker" Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 18:03:48 +0000 Subject: (mds) I thought we needed a SHORT version of the install instructions to make things easy and to ensure that people run sensors-detect. I put it at the top of the INSTALL file where people can't miss it. Comments/corrections welcome. git-svn-id: http://lm-sensors.org/svn/lm-sensors/trunk@523 7894878c-1315-0410-8ee3-d5d059ff63e0 --- INSTALL | 32 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 31 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'INSTALL') diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL index c36f241e..de3d69e9 100644 --- a/INSTALL +++ b/INSTALL @@ -1,3 +1,33 @@ +============================================================================= +INSTALLATION - SHORT INSTRUCTIONS - NON-KERNEL INSTALLATION +============================================================================= + + - Make sure you also have the i2c package installed + in the same directory as lm_sensors2 + - rmdir i2c + - ln -s ../i2c i2c + - cd i2c + - make (ignore 'no such file or directory' warnings) + - (as root) make install + - cd ../lm_sensors2 + - make (ignore 'no such file or directory' warnings) + - (as root) make install + - prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh (makes the devices in /dev) + - prog/detect/sensors-detect (determines installed hardware) + - Place the 'modprobe' commands output by sensors-detect in a + boot file like /etc/rc.d/rc.multi + - After those commands, put the line 'sensors -s' in the boot file + to initialize the sensors at boot time + - Place the lines output by sensors-detect in the module + configuration file /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf + - Reboot + - Verify correct installation of modules at boot time + - Use the command 'sensors' to check sensor status. + + +============================================================================= +============================================================================= + Please read this file thoroughly before you try to install and run things.
