Clone the repository of the project. And move inside it:

$ git clone https://github.com/H1alus/lsensors.git
$ cd lsensors

make sure you have make, gcc and python3 installed.
Download the lm_sensors-devel ad lm_sensors packages:

Fedora or any RHEL based distro:

$ sudo dnf install lm_sensors-devel lm_sensors

Debian/Ubuntu based distro:

$ sudo apt install libsensors-dev lm-sensors

Arch based distro:

$ sudo pacman -S lm_sensors

Now do in the root dir of the project:

$ make

Make sure "lsensors" file has exec permission:

$ sudo chmod +x lsensors

Run this to let lsensors configure the settings.json file:

$ ./lsensors

If you wish add the program to PATH.
For example copy the project directory in /opt and add to your .bashrc:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/lsensors

lsensors by default runs as logger to a file created in your working dir as "thermals.log".
Note that you need to first set the "settings.json" in the "etc" folder of the project as you like. Set to "true" the sensors you want to log; usually the names are enough explicit by their own.

Other arguments are:
Show help message:

$ lsensors --help

Log on a file in the working dir, called "thermals.log":

$ lsensors -l

Print to stdout:

$ lsensors -p

Generate settings.json file and show help message:

$ lsensors

This was made by myself in a short period of time. There's some stuff I'd like to change in the future but for the mean time it's working with no much cpu or memory usage and that's what matters for me.
