# Realtek RTL8811CU/RTL8821CU version 5.4.1 USB wifi adapter driver for Linux 4.20.x
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Before build this driver make sure `make`, `gcc`, `linux-header` and `git` have been installed in your system
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Build and install with DKMS
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
DKMS is a system which will automatically recompile and install a kernel module when a new kernel gets installed or updated. To make use of DKMS, install the dkms package.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Debian/Ubuntu:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    sudo apt-get install dkms
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Arch Linux/Manjaro:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    sudo pacman -S dkms
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
To make use of the DKMS feature with this project, do the following:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    DRV_NAME=rtl8821CU
 | 
			
		||||
    DRV_VERSION=5.4.1
 | 
			
		||||
    git clone https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU.git
 | 
			
		||||
    sudo cp -r ${DRV_NAME} /usr/src/${DRV_NAME}-${DRV_VERSION}
 | 
			
		||||
    sudo chown -hRv root:root /usr/src/${DRV_NAME}-${DRV_VERSION}
 | 
			
		||||
    sudo dkms add -m ${DRV_NAME} -v ${DRV_VERSION}
 | 
			
		||||
    sudo dkms build -m ${DRV_NAME} -v ${DRV_VERSION}
 | 
			
		||||
    sudo dkms install -m ${DRV_NAME} -v ${DRV_VERSION}
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
If you later on want to remove it again, do the following:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    DRV_NAME=rtl8821CU
 | 
			
		||||
    DRV_VERSION=5.4.1
 | 
			
		||||
    sudo dkms remove ${DRV_NAME}/${DRV_VERSION} --all
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Build and install without DKMS
 | 
			
		||||
Use following commands in source directory:
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
make
 | 
			
		||||
sudo make install
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
## Raspberry Pi
 | 
			
		||||
To build this driver on Raspberry Pi you need to set correct platform in Makefile.
 | 
			
		||||
Change
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = y
 | 
			
		||||
CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = n
 | 
			
		||||
CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI3 = n
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
to
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n
 | 
			
		||||
CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y
 | 
			
		||||
CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI3 = n
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
For the Raspberry Pi 3 you need to change it to
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n
 | 
			
		||||
CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = n
 | 
			
		||||
CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI3 = y
 | 
			
		||||
```
