All the steps are the same as Debian. (The only difference is that the firmware.bin is copied into `/lib/firmware/facetimehd/` instead of `/usr/lib/firmware/facetimehd/`, but the script does that for you.)
## Setting up DKMS (auto-compile on kernal update)
This assumes you have already followed the Debian/Ubuntu deb package steps. You will need to verify `dkms.conf` that the module name `facetimehd` and version number `0.1` are correct and either update the `dkms.conf` or adjust the instructions where `-m` and `-v` are used.
- Install needed packages: `# apt install debhelper dkms`
- Remove old package if installed: `# dpkg -r bcwc-pcie `
- Make a directory to work from: `# mkdir /usr/src/facetimehd-0.1`
- Change into the git repo dir: `$ cd bcwc_pcie`
- Copy files over: `# cp -r * /usr/src/facetimehd-0.1/`
- Change into that dir: `# cd /usr/src/facetimehd-0.1/`
- Remove any previous debs and backups: `# rm backup-*tgz bcwc-pcie_*deb`
- Clear out previous compile: `# make clean`
- Register the new module with DKMS: `# dkms add -m facetimehd -v 0.1`
- Build the module: `# dkms build -m facetimehd -v 0.1`
- Build a Debian source package: `# dkms mkdsc -m facetimehd -v 0.1 --source-only`
- Build a Debian binary package: `# dkms mkdeb -m facetimehd -v 0.1 --source-only`
- Copy deb locally: `# cp /var/lib/dkms/facetimehd/0.1/deb/facetimehd-dkms_0.1_all.deb ~`
- Get rid of the local build files: `# rm -r /var/lib/dkms/facetimehd/`
- Install the new deb package: `# dpkg -i /root/facetimehd-dkms_0.1_all.deb`
If you have any trouble, please read this guide on making a DKMS package:

## Get started on Arch
There is [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bcwc-pcie-git/) available, and [another one](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bcwc-pcie-firmware/) for the firmware itself (the separation will make upgrades less painful, and don't force you to keep `firmware.bin` around forever).
