```
## Compiling with DKMS
```sh
# sudo make -f Makefile.dkms install
```
### Compiling for Raspberry Pi
Install kernel headers and other dependencies.
```sh
# sudo apt-get install linux-image-rpi-rpfv linux-headers-rpi-rpfv raspberrypi-kernel-headers dkms build-essential bc
```
Append following at the end of your ``/boot/config.txt``, reboot your Pi
```sh
kernel=vmlinuz-3.10-3-rpi
initramfs initrd.img-3.10-3-rpi followkernel
```
Edit Makefile and turn on ``CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI``, turn off ``CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC``
```sh
CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n
CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y
```
```sh
# cd /usr/src/rtl8812au
# sudo make clean
# sudo make
# sudo make install
# sudo modprobe -a rtl8812au
```
### Compiling for Ubuntu (16.04) and Debian (9)
Download archive into temp directory
```sh
# mkdir -p /tmp/t4u
# cd /tmp/t4u
# wget https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux/archive/master.zip
```
Unzip
```sh
# unzip master.zip
# cd rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux-master
```
Install kernel headers
```sh
# sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
```
Compile and install from source
```sh
# make
# sudo make install
```
Load module
```sh
# sudo modprobe -a rtl8812au
```
# Cross-compiling. You can now specify variables on the command line w/out editing
# makefile. For instance, this builds against recent OpenWRT neo2 platform. Your
# Cross-compile binaries should be in your PATH.
KSRC=/home/greearb/git/openwrt-neo2-dev/build_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_musl/linux-sunxi_cortexa53/linux-4.14.78 EXT_EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DCONFIG_LITTLE_ENDIAN ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-openwrt-linux- MODDESTDIR=/tmp make V=1
Setup DKMS
```sh
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install dkms
# cd /tmp/t4u/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux-master/
# sudo cp -R . /usr/src/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux-1.0
# sudo dkms add -m rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux -v 1.0
# sudo dkms build -m rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux -v 1.0
# sudo dkms install -m rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux -v 1.0
