+### Post-installation steps for Linux
+
+CKB Studio uses `inotify` by default on Linux to monitor directories for changes. You will need to increase the amount of inotify watchers to ensure the filetree is refreshed properly.
+
+To increase inotify watchers at boot, execute the following command in Terminal:
+
+```
+echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
+```
