Prerequisite: having gcc & build tools available, and kernel headers available
On Ubuntu:
sudo apt install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Then simply run the install script from current directory.
./install.sh
It will build the driver, remove old installed driver versions if any,
and load the new one.
It will also configure modules to load it at every boot, and give read/write
access on /dev/akida* to every user.
If you want to control permissions, edit the udev rules with your own
preferences in 99-akida-pcie.rules
If you don't want the driver to load on every boot, edit the /etc/modules
file after installation and remove akida_pcie line.
After a kernel update you need to run the install script again.
