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:
sudo java -jar SetupSTM32CubeMX-4.11.0.exe/home/you/stm32/cubemxsudo chown -R you:you /home/you/stm32/cubemxTo run it:
java -jar /home/you/stm32/cubemx/STM32CubeMX.exeSTM32CubeMX.jar, and double click it
Thanks java command is still useful. I did not want to install 32 bits lib.

I am using the ubuntu 18.04,but it shows ''no jave commond",is there any solutions?
Hello I am using Ubuntu 18.04, how to make shortcut for it?
Thanks for the instructions! I'm using GalliumOS (based on Xubuntu) on my Chromebook and I'm finding that I need to use jdk 8 instead of 9, else I get an error running it:
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre
then do the java commands like in your instructions. The sudo ./SetupSTM32CubeMX-4.23.0.linux someone mentioned above doesn't work for me.
@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 :)

Use the windows .exe instead. The .linux file is only for old 32bit architectures and does not run anymore on AMD64 systems (if i understood correctly)
It worked fine for me on Ubuntu 18.04 here. I renamed the .exe to .jar to make sure.
this solution provided to your is perfect: https://gist.github.com/Lanchon/2156953d18f7534a926b#gistcomment-2871284
however, there are quite a few GUI menu editors you can easily install from the ubuntu repos, such as MenuLibre. try them!
Hello and thanks to all. I could follow simonsunnyboy & kingjulien advices and install on Ubuntu 19.10 latest version of CubeMX (5.6.1)
Everythings works ok (Design & code generation) , However update from the CubeMX make the tool freeze, I have to reboot the machine.
Since I run Linux from VirtualOrg, it could be virtual machine settings not cubeMX tool. Can anybody with a real linux machine has update working fine ? (Please note all my internet browser, mails are working fine in my Ubuntu virtual machine).
Thanks a lot !

I just tried the update here on a real linux machine. It installed an update of the Cube to V5.6.1 without issues.
Priviliges can be of concern.
I made sure to install the CubeMx here with my user priviliges on a folder with my user acces rights.
A popup with adminstrator restart came up but I safely ignored that one. No need no login or sudo, I just restarted the CubeMX GUI as my regular user and it worked for me.
Addendum I also did not a sudo install of the original package IIRC.
thanks simonsunnyboy. Since you shared STM32CubeMX's update were working fine on a "real" linux, I 've tried a bit to play around with VirtualBox's setting. Then i've seen in readme of the tool that it was a java 32 bits software. So i've installed 32 bits version of JRE
sudo apt-get install default-jre:i386
and "Voila !" STM32CubeMX update were suddently working.
The STM32CubeMx however trigs me a message telling it is not happy to have 32 bits JRE installed in 64 bits Linux.
sudo apt-get install default-jre
allow me to get rig of it...
So in the end I guess STM32CubeMX is finding what it need for the java...I must have some bits of jre 32 bits and 64 bits in my system...
I am definitly not llinux expert so sorry guys cannot really explain why it is working but only what I did to have it work !
good night !

One needs to extract both the .linux and .exe files. My mistake was that I assumed that only the .linux was necessary to extract. Once both of these files have been extracted, ./SetupSTM32CubeProgrammer-2.4.0.linux works as it should
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?
Current version (6.2.0) installs normally on Ubuntu, however you need to install JDK 11 first:
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jre
Then start installer with sudo and at the end change the ownership of all files in the selected folder
chown -R user.user STM32CubeMX
Note, that you will need to start CubeMX as root in order to finish the update to version 6.2.1 and repeat chown -R ... afterwards.
One does not need to install the JDK anymore - it seems to be included in the latest archive from ST. I just installed both STM32CubeIDE and CubeProgrammer on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 without installing any Java. ST has also updated their software install instructions, which work fine for Ubuntu 20.04
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.

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.

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.

It works like a charm 👍 .
it amazes me that the stm32cubemx installer does not perform that option.
Yes, but the 'installer' is 32 bits, and it creates its own troubles on ia64 systems. The procedure above also can be used, when an ia64 system experiences problems with the ia32 binary.
Thanks for the procedure!
