Slide 1: Welcome slide:	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Installation of Linux kernel packages.
Slide 2: Learning objectives: Install the gcc compiler. Install the kernel header files. Check the installed kernel version. Use Linux kernel commands	In this tutorial, we will learn how to Install the gcc compiler. Install the kernel header files. Check the installed kernel version. Use Linux kernel commands
Slide 3: System Requirements: VirtualBox version 5.2 Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS operating system. Linux kernel version 5.0.0-31 generic.	To record this tutorial, I am using, VirtualBox version 5.2 Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS operating system. Linux kernel version 5.0.0-31 generic.
Slide 4: Prerequisites: To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with C programming language and Basics of Linux kernel	To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with C programming language and Basics of Linux kernel
Slide 5: VirtualBox Installation Go through the Ubuntu Linux on VirtualBox series in this website. http://spoken-tutorial.org Do the Virtual box installation as per your system OS	Go through the Ubuntu Linux on VirtualBox series in this website. Do the VirtualBox installation as per your system OS.
Click on ubuntu_18.04_LTS Type the password	Start your Ubuntu 18.04 LTS virtual system. Type the system password to login.
Press Alt+Ctrl+T Type gcc -version Press Enter Highlight Command ‘gcc’ not found.	Open the terminal by pressing Alt+Ctrl+T keys simultaneously. We require the gcc compiler to compile the kernel’s module. Let us check whether the gcc compiler is installed or not. Type gcc space hyphen hyphen version and press Enter. As it is not installed, you will see an error as shown here. Otherwise you will see the gcc version that has been installed.
Type >> clear Press Enter	Clear the screen.
Type sudo apt update Press Enter Type the password 2.23 Press Enter	Let us install the gcc compiler. Type sudo space apt space update and press Enter. Type the administrative password if prompted. This command will update the Ubuntu's default repositories.
Type sudo apt install build-essential Highlight the command Press Enter	Next, type sudo space apt space install space build hyphen essential. This package is used to install GCC/g++ compilers, libraries and utilities such as make. Press Enter.
Show the output. Type y Press Enter	We can see the installation process has begun. Press 'Y' whenever there is a prompt during installation to confirm the configuration. And press Enter. Now the installation of gcc compiler is completed.
Type clear Press Enter	Clear the screen.
Type >> gcc --version Press Enter Highlight 7.4.0	Let us check the version of installed gcc compiler. Type gcc space hyphen hyphen version and press Enter. Here, you can see the installed gcc compiler version.
Type clear Press Enter	Clear the screen
Type uname -r Press Enter. Highlight 5.0.0-27-generic Highlight 5 Highlight 0 Highlight 0 Highlight -31 Highlight generic	Let us now check the kernel version of the system. Type uname space hyphen r and press Enter. Here, you can see the kernel version of the system. Five indicates the kernel version. Zero indicates the kernel major revision. Zero indicates the kernel minor revision. Thirty one indicates the number of fixed bugs. generic means general usage kernel. It is used for desktop installation. You may get a different version depending upon your Linux OS.
Type clear Press Enter	Clear the screen.
Type sudo su Press Enter Type password Press Enter Highlight the prompt	Type sudo su. su command stands for superuser or root user. Linux allows only the superuser to run some commands. Press Enter. If asked for the password, type the system password and press Enter. We can see the command prompt changed to root user.
Type >> apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) Press Enter	To compile the Linux device driver, we need to have kernel header files installed in the system. Let us install the kernel header files. Type apt space install space linux hyphen headers hyphen dolar in brackets uname hyphen r. And press Enter
Point to linux-headers Highlight 0-upgraded Highlight 0-newly installed	The files are already installed on the system. So, you can see the output as- linux-headers-5.0.0-31-generic is already the newest version zero upgraded, zero newly installed.
Type >> clear Press Enter	Clear the screen.
Type >> dpkg-query -s linux-headers-$(uname -r) Press Enter	Let us see the details of the kernel headers. Type dpkg hyphen query space hyphen s space linux hyphen headers hyphen dollar in brackets uname space hyphen r. And press Enter.
Highlight package Highlight status Highlight Installed-size	This field shows the package of header files. The status field indicates that the header files are installed or not. The Installed-size field contains the size of installed kernel header files in bytes.
Highlight Architecture Highlight version	This field shows the architecture of our system. The version field shows the version of the header files.
Type uname -r Press Enter	As already learnt, to see the kernel version, type uname space hyphen r. And press Enter.
Highlight version Highlight 5.0.0-27-generic Highlight version: 5.0.0-27	Here, you can see that the kernel header files version and the kernel version are the same. Make sure that both versions are the same in your system.
Type >> clear Press Enter	Clear the screen.
Type >> lsmod. Press Enter Show the output Highlight lsmod	Let us see the command that shows the kernel’s modules. Type lsmod and press Enter. This command shows the modules currently loaded in the kernel. These modules extend the kernel’s functionality.
Type clear Press Enter	Clear the screen
Type >> ls -l /dev press Enter Show the output Highlight /dev	Type ls space hyphen l space slash dev and press Enter. This command displays the list of files located under the dev directory. All the devices are located in the dev directory.
Highlight c Highlight b Highlight oct 16 08:47	c indicates that it is a character device. And block devices are indicated by b. The last two entries shows the last modification date and time of a file.
Type clear Press Enter	Clear the screen
Type >> ls -l/dev/tty Press Enter Highlight tty Point to root, tty Highlight rw-rw-rw-	Type ls space hyphen l space slash dev slash tty and press Enter. The tty is a character device for the first uart serial port. Here, the owner is root, and the group is tty. It indicates that the owner, the group and the others have read and write permissions. Another example of a character device is a keyboard device.
Type >> ls -l /dev/sda Press Enter Highlight b Point to root, disk Highlight rw-rw-	Type ls space hyphen l space slash dev slash sda and press Enter. It is a block device indicated by b. All mass storage devices such as sda are block devices. Here, the owner is root, and the group is disk It indicates that the owner and the group have read and write permissions.
