```bash

# create symlink to libnvidia-ml.so.1

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ml.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ml.so

# build

./build.sh

```

# Install

Copy to `/usr/local/bin`:

```bash

sudo cp -f ./gpu-fan-control /usr/local/bin/gpu-fan-control

```

Create service file:

```bash

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/gpu-fan-control.service

```

Copy this config in it:

```bash

[Unit]

Description=GPU Fan Control Service

After=nvidia-persistenced.service

Wants=nvidia-persistenced.service

[Service]

Type=simple

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/gpu-fan-control

Restart=always

RestartSec=3

User=root

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

```

Enable and start the service:

```bash

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl enable gpu-fan-control

sudo systemctl start gpu-fan-control

```

Check status:

```bash

sudo systemctl status gpu-fan-control

sudo journalctl -u gpu-fan-control -f

```

Update:

```bash

sudo systemctl stop gpu-fan-control
