==Group Account==
You'll need to add a group for the device and add yourself to that group.
<pre>
$ sudo addgroup embedded
$ sudo addgroup $USER embedded
</pre>
==Udev Rules==
Now you need to ask udev to give the recently created group permission to access the USB device.
<pre>
$ echo '#PICKit
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04d8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0032", MODE="0660", GROUP="embedded"
#PICKit2
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04d8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0033", MODE="0660", GROUP="embedded"
#PICKit3
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04d8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="900a", MODE="0660", GROUP="embedded"
#ICD2
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04d8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="8000", MODE="0660", GROUP="embedded"
#ICD21
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04d8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="8001", MODE="0660", GROUP="embedded"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/25-embedded.rules >/dev/null
</pre>
==Apply the Rules==
Use the following line and plug the PICKit in and out to make the rules apply.
<pre>$ sudo service udev reload
</pre>
==Compile pk2cmd==
