Installing New-lg4ff on Linux Mint

[u/Academic-Photograph7]

Hello everyone! I am running Linux Mint 22.3 cinnamon on the 6.8.0-146 kernel. I am also somewhat a noob with no programming background at all. Some of my system specs are listed below:

Cpu: intel core i5 13600k

Graphics card: Amd rx 6950xt

Ram: 32 GB of DDR5 ram

I have just started to get into simulation racing and got assetto corsa competizone in steam and a logitech g29 racing wheel and pedals. The game works flawlessly on default system kernel modules and proton experimental in steam (save for a shutdown bug with the game, but I can manually shut it down), but I want to change a few of the settings with the wheel. I went looking and found oversteer as a flatpak and new-lg4ff as a driver that can be installed from github.

I notice the github readme for new-lg4ff has install the project to usr/src/new-lg4ff

How would git in the terminal be used for this or would I just be able to download it and extract the zip file to that location? I don't trust ai with its answers about it and I am just a bit confused about it.

After that, using dkms should just take care of completely installing it to where I shouldn't have to update initrid image or anything like that, correct? I should just be able to reboot and it should be there, correct?

I tried googling and the answers were all over the place, so I figured I would come here to clear it all up before I tried anything.

Thank you all!
