Install XCTU - Linux

By default, access to the serial and USB ports in Linux is restricted to root and dialout group users. To access your XBee devices and use XCTU to communicate with them, your Linux user must belong to this group.

To add your Linux user to the dialout group:

  1. Open a terminal console.
  2. Execute this command: 
    sudo usermod -a -G dialout <user>

    where <user> is the user you want to add to the dialout group.

  3. Log out and log in again with your user in the system.

Then download and install XCTU:

  1. Visit www.digi.com/xctu.
  2. Click Download XCTU.
  3. Under Utilities, click the Linux installer link.
  1. When the file has finished downloading, run the executable file and follow the steps in the XCTU Setup Wizard.

A “What’s new” dialog appears when XCTU opens the first time after the installation.

XCTU updates

You may be notified about XCTU software updates once XCTU has loaded. You should always update XCTU to the latest available version. See Install XCTU updates.
