Important Note for Linux Users

The Driver needs to have access to /dev/uinput. If it doesn't, it will attempt to configure this by setting the appropriate permissions for your user, but it will ask for sudo access for this.

Make sure you are OK with this! If not, please check your distribution's documentation for alternative ways to achieve this.

You may also prefer to configure this yourself instead of granting the Driver sudo access. Here's how:

1. Make sure the uinput kernel module gets loaded:

   echo 'uinput' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules-load.d/uinput.conf
   sudo modprobe uinput
   

2. Create a udev rule (replace myusername with your own):

   echo 'KERNEL=="uinput", RUN+="/usr/bin/setfacl -m u:myusername:rw /dev/uinput"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/99-uinput.rules
   sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
   sudo udevadm trigger
