The easiest way to install btier is to make sure that kernel sources have been installed on the system and to simply type : make in the directory where you unpacked the btier sources.

However it is also possible to patch your kernel sources so that they contain btier. In this case 'make menuconfig' will show btier as an option under: Device drivers ->Block devices

To patch your kernel sources so that you can build btier in-tree use patch-in-tree.sh as follows:

./patch-in-tree.sh /usr/src/linux-3.8

Change /usr/src/linux-3.8 to the path where your kernel sources reside.

To build only the btier_setup cli: make clionly
