## Quick tips on udev installation
- Installing a udev rule needs administrator root access with sudo and the rules should be put in either the `/etc/udev/rules.d/` or `/run/udev/rules.d` example from above.
- You can copy the `.rules` from terminal into the directory either from terminal or with sudo access file browser.
- The rules should be in the `.rules` file format and should be extracted from any `.zip` `.7z` `.tar` or any other compressed format.
- The udev rule should be added when the RetroDECK or any other software that you want access to the device is not running.
- After a rule is added you will need to either reload the `udevadm` from terminal by issuing the following command: `sudo udevadm control --reload-rules` or just reboot the system.
- For SteamOS or other immutable systems udev rules might or might not persistent persist over SteamOS updates (we can't say for certain).
