FreeBSD

On FreeBSD, use the following command to install the gcc required dependency:

sudo pkg install lang/gcc

Non-root access on Linux

To enable a non-root user to access the AlphaRNG device, simply copy the supplied 85-alpharng-usb-access.rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d/ location. You may need to reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
