## FUSE Setup

FUSE mode mounts virtual filesystems as real directories,
allowing any tool (not just MIRAGE commands) to access mounted data.

### Install FUSE

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Ubuntu / Debian">
    ```bash
    sudo apt-get install fuse3 libfuse3-dev
    ```
  </Tab>
  <Tab title="Fedora / RHEL">
    ```bash
    sudo dnf install fuse3 fuse3-devel
    ```
  </Tab>
  <Tab title="Arch Linux">
    ```bash
    sudo pacman -S fuse3
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Allow User Mounts

Edit `/etc/fuse.conf` and uncomment `user_allow_other`:

```bash
sudo sed -i 's/#user_allow_other/user_allow_other/' /etc/fuse.conf
```

### Verify

```bash
fusermount3 --version
```
