# Adding udev rules on Linux
|
|
|
|
By default, Linux does not allow the use of unknown USB devices, so you need to add `udev` rules for your hubs. Pybricks provides a couple of ways to do this.
|
|
|
|
If you are using an Ubuntu-based Linux distro, you can install the `pbrick-rules` package from the Pybricks PPA. This method has the advantage of automatic updates.
|
|
|
|
{% include copy-code.html %}
|
|
```
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository --update ppa:pybricks/ppa
|
|
sudo apt install pbrick-rules
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can alternately install the rules using the `pybricksdev` command line tool:
|
|
|
|
{% include copy-code.html %}
|
|
```
|
|
pipx run pybricksdev udev | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/99-pybricksdev.rules
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If neither of these options is suitable, you can manually copy [this file](https://github.com/pybricks/pybricksdev/blob/master/pybricksdev/resources/99-pybricksdev.rules) to `/etc/udev/rules.d/99-pybricksdev.rules`.
|
|
|
|
After installing the `udev` rules, disconnect any affected devices and plug them back in.
|
|
|
|
If this doesn't seem to work, try rebooting.

# Using Pybricks Code with Chromium
|
|
|
|
If you use Chromium as a snap package, you may get an error when you try
|
|
to install the firmware on a SPIKE hub or MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor hub via
|
|
USB. To resolve this, enable access to USB devices:
|
|
|
|
{% include copy-code.html %}
|
|
```
|
|
sudo snap connect chromium:raw-usb
|
|
```
