(Noob question) Trying to install fan script, don't understand the first bit of instructions. - eviltoast

Since I installed the official fan script, and it did nothing, I kept searching. I found a second user made script for controlling the fan, however I’m too inexperienced with linux to even understand what’s being asked.

How To Install Firstly you need to have a build environment setup, that includes the following gcc dtc git bash linux-headers make git NOTE : The package names will be different depending on your OS so I’ve only given their binary names. Refer to your distribution for what you need to install. I’ve tried to make the installer as simple as possible. After cloning this repo simply run ./install You may need to reboot for full functionality.

What does he mean “build the environment setup”? And how do I clone a repo?

I’m trying this out on raspberry pi OS 64 bit, which is listed as compatible. If I can learn HOW to do this, I’ll do it on my main SD card OS, TwisterOS, which is also listed as compatible.

    You need to install those packages first. I’ve never used TwisterOS but looks like it’s related to Debian, so I guess you install stuff with

    apt get stuff

    To clone the repo click on the button “copy https clone url” at the top. Then on your system (where you want to clone it) type

    git clone paste the copied url
