### Installing Solaar's udev Rule
Solaar needs to write to the receiver's HID device.
To be able to do this without running as root requires udev rule
To be able to do this without running as root requires a udev rule
that gives seated users write access to the HID devices for Logitech receivers.
You can install this rule by copying, as root,

`sudo bash -c 'umask 022 ; pip install .'` in the solaar directory.
(The umask is needed so that the created files and directories can be read and executed by everyone.)
This will also install the udev rule and the Solaar autostart desktop file.
Then solaar can be run as /usr/local/bin/solaar.

## Running Solaar at Startup
Solaar is run automatically at user login via the desktop file
Distributions can cause Solaar can be run automatically at user login by installing a desktop file at
`/etc/xdg/autostart/solaar.desktop`.
If you install Solaar yourself you may need to create or modify this file.
If you install Solaar yourself you may need to create or modify this file or install a startup file under your home directory.
## Using PyPI
As an alternative to downloading and installing you can install the most recent release
(but not the current github version) of Solaar from PyPI.
Just run `pip install --user solaar` or `sudo pip install solaar`.
The `--user` flag will not install the Solaar udev rule or the Solaar autostart file.
Just run `pip install --user solaar`.
This will not install the Solaar udev rule, which you will need to copy from
`~/.local/share/solaar/udev-rules.d/42-logitech-unify-permissions.rules`
to `/etc/udev/rules.d`.
