You will need to restart SteamVR for changes to take effect, though you likely won't notice any difference until you have SlimeVR trackers set up.

### 4. Set the SteamVR launch argument

SteamVR will sometimes need a launch argument in order to load the SlimeVR driver.
To set the launch argument, open Steam, right-click on SteamVR in your library, select "Properties" and you should see a field to input the launch argument.
In most cases, your launch argument should be something like `~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrmonitor.sh %command%`, but you might need to adjust the path based on where Steam is installed.
