_Console Options_

### Installation

#### Ubuntu-based Distributions (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Elementary, etc)  

Packages are available in Launchpad PPA for supported Ubuntu releases.

Run the following commands in a terminal window:  

    sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install ukuu

Ukuu should not be used on older Ubuntu systems as upgrading to very new kernels can break older systems.

#### Debian & Other Linux Distributions

This application fetches kernels from [kernel.ubuntu.com](http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/) which are provided by Canonical and meant for installation on Ubuntu-based distributions. These should not be used on Debian and other non-Ubuntu distributions such as Arch Linux, Fedora, etc.

### Downloads & Source Code 

Ukuu is written using Vala and GTK3 toolkit. Source code and binaries are available from the [GitHub project page](https://github.com/teejee2008/ukuu).

### Build instruction
