@ -50,10 +50,11 @@ In order to work properly, Makima needs access to the `evdev` kernel module whic
To do so, you can do **one of the following**:
- **Use `sudo usermod -aG input username` and reboot.**\
_Note: some users might not like this one because it makes all applications potentially able to read your inputs._
- **Run Makima as root.**\
_Note: if you use Makima to launch shell commands, some of them might not work when running as root, e.g. using `notify-send` will send notifications to your root user instead of your normal user. To work around this, you can launch your commands with `su - username -c 'command'`, which might or might not work. I'll address this at some point._
- **Run Makima as root with `sudo -E makima`.**\
_Note: the `-E` argument is necessary because it allows Makima to inherit your user environment instead of the root environment._
