Prerequisites

1. Get SSH access to your Ubiquiti access point, preferably with an ssh key to avoid entering password
2. If you are using active actions such as wifi-start/wifi-stop/wifi-start-radio/wifi-stop-radio, do not connect an management platform such as Unifi Controller / Unifi Console to the network, as they may rollback actions set my ubiquiti_adm

$ sudo make install
