 ## Build
 ### Local build
-Run ```make local``` in the project root folder. Products are copied to 'target' directory.

 ### System install
-Run  ```make install``` to install the library and header files (this command does essentially the same as a local build with the exception that products are copied to /usr/local/ by default). You may change that path by passing 'make' the variable 'PREFIX', i.e. ```make install PREFIX=/my/custom/path```. To uninstall, run ```make uninstall```.

 ### Udev Rules
-If your system uses udev, you will probably have to configure it to allow access to the k8055 boards. The following instructions show how to configure udev (you will need root privileges).
+If your system uses udev (i.e. linux), you will probably have to configure it to allow access to the k8055 boards. The following instructions show how to configure udev.
 
 1. Copy the file `k8055.rules' into the udev rules directory, typically /etc/udev/rules.d
 
-    ```cp k8055.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/k8055.rules```
+    `cp k8055.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/k8055.rules`
 
 2. Create a group named k8055.
 
-    ```groupadd -r k8055```
+    `groupadd -r k8055`
 
 3. Add to the group yourself and/or other users whom you wish to grant access to the boards.
 
-    ```usermod -a -G k8055 $(USER)```
+    `usermod -a -G k8055 $(USER)`
 
-The previously described steps may be automated by running ```make install-rules``` to install just the rules or ```make install-permissions USERS="<list of users>"``` to also create the group and add the given list of users to it.
-To uninstall, run ```make uninstall-rules``` or ```make uninstall-permissions```.

 See the comments in the source code for documentation about usage. Note: the API isn't the same as the one provided by Velleman in their DLL.
