Reload the new udev rules, depending on the Linux distribution, without rebooting:

```sh
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
```

This installs the kernel module `hid-fanatec.ko` in the `hid` dir of the running kernel and puts `fanatec.rules` into `/etc/udev/rules.d`. These rules allows access to the device for `users` group and sets deadzone/fuzz to 0 so that any wheel input is detected immediately.
The driver should get loaded automatically when the wheel is plugged.
