Installing on Debian and ubuntu derivatives

This has been tested on Debian 12

Install hidapi and pipx

sudo apt install libhidapi-libusb0 pipx

Note that for version 2.0.6 and below, you also need to install libxcb-xinerama0 (include it with apt in the line above).

Set path

You need to add ~/.local/bin to your path. Be sure to add this to your .bashrc (or equivalent) file so it automatically sets it for you in future.

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin

Configure access to Elgato devices (udev rules)

The following will create a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/60-streamdeck.rules with all the necessary udev rules that provides your user with access to USB devices created by Elgato.

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/streamdeck-linux-gui/streamdeck-linux-gui/main/udev/60-streamdeck.rules -O /etc/udev/rules.d/60-streamdeck.rules

alternatively to grabbing the file directly from the repository you can use the following command:

sh -c "echo -e 'SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", ATTRS{idVendor}==\"0fd9\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"0060\", TAG+=\"uaccess\"\\n'\
'SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", ATTRS{idVendor}==\"0fd9\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"0063\", TAG+=\"uaccess\"\\n'\
'SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", ATTRS{idVendor}==\"0fd9\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"006c\", TAG+=\"uaccess\"\\n'\
'SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", ATTRS{idVendor}==\"0fd9\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"006d\", TAG+=\"uaccess\"\\n'\
'SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", ATTRS{idVendor}==\"0fd9\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"0080\", TAG+=\"uaccess\"\\n'\
'KERNEL==\"uinput\", SUBSYSTEM==\"misc\", OPTIONS+=\"static_node=uinput\", TAG+=\"uaccess\", GROUP=\"input\", MODE=\"0660\"' > /etc/udev/rules.d/60-streamdeck.rules"

For the rule to take immediate effect, run the following command:

sudo udevadm trigger

If the software is having problems later to detect the Stream Deck, you can try unplugging/plugging it back in.
