If your system requires module signing (most distributions):
$ cd <path-to-package-base-directory>
$ ./dkms-install.sh
else:
$ cd <path-to-package-base-directory>
$ ./install.sh
After a successful installation, you should see something similar to:
Uninstall:
$ ./scripts/hws-uninstall.sh
Install Successfully!
