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

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.

@VictorTagayun Save the following code in ~/.local/share/applications/stm32cubemx.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=STM32CubeMX
GenericName=STM32CubeMX
Comment=Graphical tool for configuration of STM32 Microcontrollers
Exec=/usr/local/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeMX/STM32CubeMX
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=/home/<USERNAME>/.local/share/applications/icons/stm32cubemx.png
StartupWMClass=STM32CubeMX
StartupNotify=true

And don't forget the icon in ~/.local/share/applications/icons/stm32cubemx.png or change the paths in the .desktop-file accordingly.

Hope this helps :)

It works like a charm 👍 .
it amazes me that the stm32cubemx installer does not perform that option.
