After you are done, run `sudo update-grub` or `sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`, if you are using Arch.

### AUR

* The command ```sudo auto-cpufreq --install``` produces error [#471](https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq/issues/471) please don't use it.
* This script is supposed to automate the process of enabling auto-cpufreq.service so you need to manually open terminal and type
~~~
sudo systemctl enable --now auto-cpufreq.service
~~~
for the service to work.
* Power Profiles Daemon is [automatically disabled by auto-cpufreq-installer](https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq#1-power_helperpy-script-snap-package-install-only) due to it's conflict with auto-cpufreq.service. However this doesn't happen with AUR package and will lead to problems (i.e: [#463](https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq/issues/463)) if not masked manually.
* So open your terminal and type
~~~
sudo systemctl mask power-profiles-daemon.service
~~~
Following this command ```enable``` the auto-cpufreq.service if you haven't already.
