It's generally **highly recommended** to opt for the more expensive but higher quality [BNO085](https://shop.slimevr.dev/products/slimevr-imu-module-bno085) IMU module. This should offer the highest quality tracking with best precision and minimal drifting.
## Add and register the SteamVR driver
Download the [SlimeVR driver for SteamVR](https://github.com/SlimeVR/SlimeVR-OpenVR-Driver/releases/latest/download/slimevr-openvr-driver-x64-linux.zip), extract it and place the `slimevr` folder in the `$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/drivers/` folder. This path may change depending on where your SteamVR install is located. To make sure you moved the right folder, make sure that the following path exists: `$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/drivers/slimevr/bin/linux64/driver_slimevr.so`.
Then you'll need to register the driver using the following command.
**Important**: make sure to **NOT** run this command twice, adding a driver twice will cause problems.
```bash
$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/linux64/vrpathreg.sh adddriver $HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/drivers/slimevr
```
