How to switch to AUR kernels?

I want to switch to linux-mainline: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-mainline

Do I need to install linux-mainline-headers and linux-mainline-docs?

I tried once and returned a error: you need to load the kernel first

It seems that I forgot to run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg?

Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
Write programs to work together.
Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.

Only if you use any out-of-tree modules or want to read the documentation.

That's only relevant if you are using grub as your bootloader. Please read the wiki page relevant to which bootloader you're actually using.
