The easy way to setup eudev is through the [[#Setup_script\|setup script]]. Only advanced users are recommended to do [[#Manual installation\|manual installation]].

			On Alpine Linux Edge and from v3.23 onwards, ''udev'' rules for most packages are found in subpackages under the format {{ic\|<var>packagename</var>-udev}}. These are automatically installed provided that '''eudev''' is installed, so no manual intervention should be required. This configuration reduces the size of packages, as rules had mostly been bundled previously, and thus makes installations that do not use '''eudev''' leaner and simpler.
