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:

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

@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.
