## Guide to the Repository
|
|
|
|
### Install
|
|
|
|
Please chose one of the paths listed in the next paragraphs.
|
|
|
|
Quick and dirty TLDR for Debian/Ubuntu:
|
|
|
|
- See Supported Devices paragraph
|
|
- Clone this repo
|
|
sudo apt install ./selected.deb
|
|
|
|
### Precompiled .deb packages
|
|
|
|
You should (or could) select this if you are on Debian/Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
### Extracted
|
|
|
|
Contains both the extracted data folder of the above mentioned packages (useful for experimenting)
|
|
|
|
You can `git clone https://github.com/tcsenpai/goodix-debian-linux-drivers-fingerprint-by-dell`, navigate to `extracted` and your version (see #Supported devices) and copy the contained files in the exact same file structure in your system (creating folders if needed).
|
|
|
|
Note: this method is quite experimental, please back up anything you may overwrite.
|
|
|
|
### Bare_so_files
|
|
|
|
I don't know if they are useful but hey, less packaging!
|
|
|
|
