Note that OpenSuperClone requires a kernel module to be installed for the virtual drive functionality and direct AHCI/IDE access. If DKMS is present, the module will be automatically built and installed. Otherwise, the module can be built and installed manually.


# Build and install the kernel module manually (substitute x.x.x with the version number)
$ cd /usr/src/OSCDriver-x.x.x
$ make
$ sudo make install

# Alternatively, build and install the kernel module using DKMS
# after the package has been installed (requires DKMS to be installed)
$ sudo dkms install OSCDriver/x.x.x

Compiling from Source

💡 OpenSuperClone requires the following packages to be installed for a successful project build:

cmake
gcc
gettext
libconfig-dev
libgtk-3-dev
libusb-dev
pkg-config

Building and running locally

# Build OpenSuperClone and OSCViewer for Release and install to ./Release
$ ./build.sh

# If you want to install the kernel module with DKMS, copy the source to the DKMS directory
# and install the module (substitute x.x.x with the version number)
sudo cp -r ./Release/src/OSCDriver-x.x.x /usr/src/OSCDriver-x.x.x
sudo dkms install OSCDriver/x.x.x

# Run OpenSuperClone
$ sudo ./Release/bin/opensuperclone

# Run OSCViewer
$ ./Release/bin/oscviewer

Building and installing to /usr/

# Build OpenSuperClone and OSCViewer for Release and install to /usr/
# This will also attempt to install the kernel module if DKMS is installed
$ ./install.sh

# Run OpenSuperClone
$ sudo opensuperclone

# Run OSCViewer
$ oscviewer
