# Getting started
Reserve 12Gb of disk and run:
git clone https://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat
cd linux-kernel-module-cheat
./configure && ./build && ./run
The first build will take a while ([GCC](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10833672/buildroot-environment-with-host-toolchain), Linux kernel), e.g.:
- 2 hours on a mid end 2012 laptop
- 30 minutes on a high end 2017 desktop
If you don't want to wait, you could also try to compile the examples and run them on your host computer as explained on the ["Run on host" section](run-on-host.md), but as explained on that section, that is dangerous, limited, and will likely not work.
After QEMU opens up, you can start playing with the kernel modules:
root
insmod /hello.ko
insmod /hello2.ko
rmmod hello
rmmod hello2
This should print to the screen:
hello init
hello2 init
hello cleanup
hello2 cleanup
which are `printk` messages from `init` and `cleanup` methods of those modules.
All available modules can be found in the [`kernel_module` directory](kernel_module/).
