IndexError: list index out of range

I got this error when I tried to run the script:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./omen-fan.py", line 19, in <module>
    BOOST_FILE = glob.glob("/sys/devices/platform/hp-wmi/hwmon/*/pwm1_enable")[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

I checked, and I don't have hwmon folder in /sys/devices/platform/hp-wmi/ path.
Any ideas on what should be installed to get this folder?
I have HP Omen 15-dh1002ur and Linux Mint 20.2

What files/folders are present in your hp-wmi folder then? Also what is your kernel version?

I guess the hp-wmi hwmon interface doesn't exist for your laptop model, why this occurs I'm not sure of. Could be that it isn't compatible or loading fails for some reason.
