3A‐4 ‐ OpenRGB.sh

Caution

This script is configured to install only for AMD CPUs and Motherboards.

The OpenRGB configuration for Intel CPUs and motherboards are present, however, they are not tested by me and are commented out. To discourage the user from running the script without prerequisite knowledge, the OpenSUSE_Installation.sh script does not install it by default.

Attempting to install incorrect packages may or may not result in hardware damage.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

This script shall download, install and configure OpenRGB on the system.

What is OpenRGB?

Please check the OpenRGB Repository out.

OpenRGB is a program that will help the user to control peripheral lighting (keyboards, mouse, CPU cabinets, cooling fans, RAM sticks etc.)

Usually, the OEMs provides a software to control their LEDs, and on Windows, each device requires a separate application to control the lighting. On Linux, those applications by the OEMs are not available, and cannot be run using WINE or other software.

OpenRGB is a software which can control the peripheral lighting without having to install multiple programs and provides a way to control peripheral lighting on Linux machines.

Do I need OpenRGB?

If your hardware supports OpenRGB, you may want to install and configure it.

Caution

While installing OpenRGB using this script, the user may need to modify it as per the CPU manufacturer.

The script file has all the necessary comments to help the user set it up for the target system.
