For Linux you can use the [bootloadHID](https://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/bootloadhid.html) utility (which will require building). Arch Linux users can alternatively install this from the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bootloadhid/). On Windows, I use [MINGw](http://www.mingw.org/) to compile the keymaps. On Linux, you can simply use the terminal.
