 If you want to set specific options from the command line, we also provide flattened shortcuts to any item that is nested in the plist file.
 
 For example, this policy:
-```

-```
-defaults write org.mozilla.firefox Homepage__URL -string "http://example.com"
+Correctly writing the nested value with the `defaults` command can be hard, so you can flatten the keys by separating them with `__`, like this:
+```bash
+sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox Homepage__URL -string "http://example.com"
 ```
 Before any command line policies will work, you need to enable policies like this:
+```bash
+sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox EnterprisePoliciesEnabled -bool TRUE
 ```
-defaults write org.mozilla.firefox EnterprisePoliciesEnabled -bool TRUE
+If you want to set user specific policies, use ~/Library without sudo:
+```bash
+defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox EnterprisePoliciesEnabled -bool TRUE
+defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox Homepage__URL -string "http://example.com"
 ```
