Emerge
root #emerge --ask sys-apps/openrazerAdditional software
Correctly OpenRazer can act as a backed for following packages:
- sys-apps/razercommander - a GUI OpenRazer client application,
- sys-apps/polychromatic - most feature-fill GUI configuration tool, providing also a CLI interface and a system tray icon,
- sys-apps/razer-cli - most minimal, CLI-only OpenRazer client.
Configuration
Kernel modules
The kernel modules should be automatically loaded by Udev, but can also be loaded by using the "modules" system service.
Service
systemd
Upstream provides a systemd user service which can be enabled by the users running systemd.
Usages
OpenRazer provides a kernel module as well as a client and server implementations. Currently all OpenRazer clients rely on that server called "openrazer-daemon". So, to make all GUI/TUI clients work correctly, first the "openrazer-daemon" has to be started. This can be done by either adding it to the desktop startup scripts, xinitrc script or manually starting from the command-line.
