### Installation

#### Ubuntu-based Distributions (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Elementary, etc)  
Packages are available in Launchpad PPA for supported Ubuntu releases.
Run the following commands in a terminal window:  

    sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install ukuu

Ukuu should not be used on older Ubuntu systems as upgrading to very new kernels can break older systems.

This application fetches kernels from [kernel.ubuntu.com](http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/) which are provided by Canonical and meant for installation on Ubuntu-based distributions. These should not be used on Debian and other non-Ubuntu distributions such as Arch Linux, Fedora, etc.
