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 following command, where <user> is the user you want to add to the dialout group.:
  3. sudo usermod -a -G dialout <user> 
  4. Log out and log in again with your user in the system.

Then download and install XCTU:

  1. Go to www.digi.com/xctu.
  2. Click Download XCTU.
  3. Under Utilities, click the Linux installer link.
  4. 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 installation is complete.
