How to install sensors (lm-sensors) on Ubuntu / Debian Linux

To install the lm-sensors package (which provides tools for monitoring hardware sensors, such as temperature and fan speed) on Ubuntu or Debian Linux, you can use the following steps:

1. Install the lm-sensors package:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lm-sensors

This will install the lm-sensors package and its dependencies.

2. Detect the sensors on your system:

sudo sensors-detect

This will scan your system for sensors and prompt you to enable support for each type of sensor. Follow the prompts to enable support for the sensors you want to use.

3. Test the installation:

sensors

This will print the current readings of the sensors on your system, indicating that lm-sensors is installed and working correctly.
