Source

To install all programs from source, you'll need to follow all the steps below. If you want to only install some components, you'll need to consult each subproject's readme:

coolercontrol-liqctld
coolercontrold
coolercontrol

Daemon Requirements

• git
• make
• cargo/rust >= 1.81.0
• python >= 3.8
• nodejs >= 18.0.0
• npm (often part of nodejs)
• libdrm-dev

Note: If you are running Arch Linux, installing from source requires special steps that the official AUR package already does for you.

Desktop Application Requirements

To build the standalone Qt GUI application, you'll also need the development dependencies listed here.

Setup Source

git clone https://gitlab.com/coolercontrol/coolercontrol.git
git checkout main
git pull

Build and Install Everything

cd coolercontrol
make install-source -j3
# and watch it go.

That should install all the necessary files onto your system.

Then start the daemons:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now coolercontrold

You should then be able to start the GUI like normal.
