Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc/issues/1122

First Steps
Describe the bug
In this section of configuring nbfc, " (optional) Copy nbfc/Linux/nbfc into /opt/nbfc/bin/ and Add /opt/nbfc/bin to PATH, so you can call nbfc from anywhere. (Please use quotes if your command has more than one word arguments. ex: nbfc 'set -a' )"

Did you mean to copy nbfc/Linux/bin ? instead of /nbfc/Linux/nbfc ?
Because when I browsed the content of the directory /Linux I did not find a file nor a directory called nbfc

Here are the file content:

ls -la nbfc/Linux/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 4096 Apr 19 07:47 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 user user 4096 Apr 19 07:47 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 4096 Apr 19 07:47 bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 250 Apr 19 07:46 nbfc.service
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user user 488 Apr 19 07:46 nbfcservice.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 263 Apr 19 07:46 nbfc-sleep.service

I'm using the stable version of nbfc
I thought I write this issue to warn you guys or to correct me if I did anything wrong in the process.
It might confuse some of the other newbies too, so I think it's better be corrected if it was wrong.
Thank you for your efforts
Kind Regards.
Mohamad Ali

Also, since it is optional, when I skip step 4 in Linux section and get to this part where I apply the config and start the fan control

Even though the files are not contained in /opt/nbfc but in /opt/nbfc/Release/
Every time I try to run mono nbfc.exe , I get connection refused
Any suggestions?

Hi. I am no longer using NBFC and I am no longer maintaining any AUR packages.

But I am the original creator of AUR packages nbfc and nbfc-git. For example, nbfc package here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nbfc/

In this URL you can find literally step by step instructions how to build and install NBFC. Also in this URL you can find how to use it.

Thanks for responding.
Downloading nbfc through aur did relief me from the issues I'm facing.

Edit:
Can you tell me who is still maintaining this project ? @erkexzcx

The guide needs to be updated.

Install the package nbfc from the AUR then follow these steps after installation:

sudo systemctl enable nbfc --now
Then You can start using it by typing nbfc in the command line without the .exe like the guide says. If that did not work with you and the terminal showed: Command not found, you can add it to your path like this:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/nbfc But I don't think you'll need to do this if you installed the package from the AUR

Next you can choose the most suitable config file. You can find the config files in /opt/nbfc/Configs
After you choose the suitable config file successfully, apply it :

nbfc config --apply "Config file name without extension"
nbfc start
nbfc status --all

I also made my own config file and set the fans to work in the speeds I want on the heat thresholds that specified.
It's working fine now.
Thanks for your patience and for this great tool <3
