        ## How it works?

        First of all, I designed this tool for *speed-up* kernel installation process, as the user has to perform a lot of commands and be careful (the process can crash your system if any step is not correctly completed).

        

        So for this reason, I decided to **implement** a *[Python](https://www.python.org)* version of this process. The idea is simple: *download, compile and install a new kernel (if available) without user interaction, but showing warnings and errors*.

        

        Basically, this program has three blocks:

        

        1. **Kernel downloading and decompression**: the program will look for a newer stable version of the kernel at https://kernel.org. If there is a newer one, it will *download* and *decompress* it (if there is enough space available).

        2. **Kernel configuration and compilation**: once the kernel is decompressed, this application will look for the *actual boot config*, copy it to the new kernel location and *adapt it* to the new configuration available at the new version. Then, **this app will start compiling kernel**.

        3. **Kernel installation**: after all the compiling process, now it is the easiest part: *installing the new kernel*. For this, the application will use `dpkg` in order to adapt and install required dependencies for the new kernel.

        

        If you want to know *what commands* is the program using, you can find them at `Constants.py` file.

        

        ## How to install

        You have some alternatives to install this application (*both requires admin access  - '#'' means admin access granted*):

        

        + Using `pip`. For that purpose, just run in your terminal:

        ```bash

        pip install KernelUpgrader # It is important to use "pip" from Python 3

        ```

        To use *Python 3 PIP*, you must install `pip3`:

        ```bash

        apt-get install pip3 # Assuming that you have Python 3 installed

        ### PYTHON 3 NOT INSTALLED ##

        apt-get install python3

        ```

        If you find that `pip` installs dependencies in *Python 2*, in most cases the following syntax works:

        ```bash

        python3 -m pip install KernelUpgrader

        ```

        + Using the `setup.py` file:

        First, you have to *obtain* the correspondant version. You can get it via `wget` or using `git` (as shown below):

        ```bash

        apt-get install wget unzip # If "wget" and "unzip" is not installed

        wget https://github.com/Javinator9889/KernelUpgrader/archive/master.zip

        unzip master.zip

        cd KernelUpgrader-master/

        ```

        ```bash

        apt-get install git # If "git" is not installed

        git clone https://github.com/Javinator9889/KernelUpgrader.git

        cd KernelUpgrader

        ```

        Now, for *both processes*, we just need to run:

        ```bash

        python3 setup.py install # We are using "python3" as "python" means "Python 2"

        ```

        

        ## How to update?

        In order to update to a newer version of *KernelUpgrader*, we must do:

        ```bash

        # If installed via "pip"

        pip install -U KernelUpgrader

        # If the above one not works

        python3 -m pip install -U KernelUpgrader

        ```

        ```bash

        # If installed via "wget" or "git"

        # We must follow the steps in "How to install" until the "cd" command and then run:

        python3 setup.py install # This automatically updates the application

        ```

        

        ## I found an error or I want to contribute

        I would *love* to see how my application grows up, so feel free to create your **own version** of this app. Just *fork it* and make all the changes you want 😄

        

        Also if you want to *add a new functionality* or *solve a bug*, you are free to open a **pull request** so I can merge the changes you have done.

        

        ## How can I help?

        + Feel free to *follow me at GitHub* 👥: I create a lot of projects and maybe you find someone interesting.

        + *Start* ⭐ this project if you find it helpful 😄

        + *Share it* with the people you think they will find interesting my job 🗣
