	=== Setting ~~UDev~~ Rules ===		=== Setting udev Rules ===
	By default, Linux ~~will not grant permission to~~ regular users ~~to access~~ physical hardware ~~as a~~ security ~~feature~~. ~~This means that in order to run Phidgets code from user space~~ you ~~must grant yourself~~ root privileges ~~via sudo~~. For example:		By default, Linux restricts regular users from accessing physical hardware for security reasons. As a result, you typically need root privileges to access Phidgets. For example:
			<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
	sudo ./HelloWorld		sudo ./HelloWorld
			</syntaxhighlight>

	~~You~~ can ~~grant access manually or, more commonly,~~ set up a rules file ~~to do it~~ automatically ~~keying off of the vendor code for~~ Phidget USB ~~devices~~. ~~To do this, create~~ a ~~text~~ file ~~called "~~99-libphidget22.rules" with the following ~~contents~~:		To avoid using sudo every time, you can set up a udev rules file that automatically grants access based on Phidget's USB vendor ID. Create a file named 99-libphidget22.rules with the following content:
	<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>		<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
	# All current and future Phidgets - Vendor = 0x06c2, Product = 0x0030 - 0x00af		# All current and future Phidgets - Vendor = 0x06c2, Product = 0x0030 - 0x00af
Line 60:		Line 61:
	</syntaxhighlight>		</syntaxhighlight>

	~~Where mode~~ 666 ~~means every user has permission to~~ read ~~and~~ write to the ~~specified file/~~device. ~~You need to then move~~ this file to "/etc/udev/rules.d". ~~Now~~ you ~~can~~ run Phidget ~~related code~~ as a regular user without ~~the OS denying~~ permission.		The MODE="666" grants read/write access to the matching device for all users. Save this file to "/etc/udev/rules.d". Once in place, you'll be able to run Phidget programs as a regular user without permission issues.
