Installing STM32CubeMX on Linux

Installing STM32CubeMX on Linux

The STM32CubeMX tool is written in portable java, but unfortunately it is distributed as a Windows executable embedded in a Windows installer.

To install it on Linux:

  1. sudo java -jar SetupSTM32CubeMX-4.11.0.exe
  2. install the tool somewhere in your home, eg: /home/you/stm32/cubemx
  3. sudo chown -R you:you /home/you/stm32/cubemx

To run it:

  • java -jar /home/you/stm32/cubemx/STM32CubeMX.exe
  • or mark that file as executable, rename it to STM32CubeMX.jar, and double click it

As of version 6.2.1, the provided Linux installation package on ST's website is designed for and tested on 64-bit systems, and (from what I gather) works only on a 64-bit system (sorta redundant to state, since ubuntu 20.04 only comes in 64-bit). And yes, no need for JDK, it is bundled with the package.

I have downloaded STM32CubeMX for Linux, and extracted it on Ubuntu 20.04, and double-click the setup file, no error prompted, but I couldn't launch it, how to?

Have a look at the Readme.html, there are comprehensive instructions for each OS.

Current version (6.2.0) installs normally on Ubuntu, however you need to install JDK 11 first:

sudo apt install openjdk-11-jre

Installation of JDK was required on Ubuntu 18.04.3 64-bit. Forgot to mention the version.

I have downloaded STM32CubeMX for Linux, and extracted it on Ubuntu 20.04, and double-click the setup file, no error prompted, but I couldn't launch it, how to?

Check your user's permissions of the folder and sub-folders, where the IDE was installed. Start IDE from the terminal as normal user, you will see in the output where is the problem (or paste it here).

When I tried to setup SetupSTM32CubeProgrammer-2.10.0.linux I got error:
Exec error: Permission denied
just check permission for files in ./jre/bin folder. They must be executable.
Zip archive clear executable bit for all files.
