Modules
Loaded modules check
Before installation, we have to make sure you have the coretemp and applesmc kernel modules loaded. This can be done by running:
$ lsmod | grep -e coretemp -e applesmc
You should get two lines as an output of this command, one for each of the modules.

Please, continue to Installation.

Loading modules
Before loading kernel modules coretemp and applesmc, we have to make sure these modules are even loadable by your system. This can be done by running:
$ find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -type f -name '*.ko*' | grep -e applesmc -e coretemp
Again, you should get two lines as an output of this command, one for each of the modules.
I see two lines
Firstly, we have to make sure these modules will load next time you reboot your computer. If your system uses systemd, you should create two files named coretemp.conf and applesmc.conf (or only one of them for the missing module) in /etc/modules-load.d. Inside of these files should be only one line, with the name of the module you want to load at boot.
If you do not see folder /etc/modules-load.d, you can probably see file /etc/modules. Add two lines (or only one for the missing module) with name of each module to this file.
If you do not see folder /etc/modules-load.d and file /etc/modules, you will have to find out on your own based on your Linux distribution how to load kernel modules at boot.
Secondly, we have to load these modules now. This can be done by running:
# modprobe coretemp
# modprobe applesmc
Now, please, continue to Installation.
I do not see two lines
I am truly sorry, but for this part of the installation process you are now on this on your own. You have to find out how to install these two modules (or the one which is missing) based on your Linux distribution.
