 ### Linux
 
-To allow YAFI to communicate with the EC, you need to copy the [`60-cros_ec_python.rules`](60-cros_ec_python.rules) file to `/etc/udev/rules.d/` and reload the rules with `sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger`.
+To allow YAFI to communicate with the EC, you will need to enable user access to the `/dev/cros_ec` device. You can do this by running `echo KERNEL=="cros_ec", TAG+="uaccess" | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/60-yafi.rules`, and then reload the rules with `sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger`.
+
+You can also do this by running `curl -fL yafi.stevetech.au/udev.sh | sudo sh` which will run the [`add-udev-rules.sh`](add-udev-rules.sh) script.
