Download and 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, it is mandatory that your Linux user belongs to this group. To add your Linux user to the dialout group:

  1. Open a terminal console.
  2. Execute the following command where <user> is the user you want to add to the dialout group: 
    sudo usermod -a -G dialout <user>
  3. Log out and log in again with your user in the system.
  1. Go to www.digi.com/xctu.
  2. Click Download.
  3. Under Download XCTU, click the Linux installer link.
  4. Once the download is complete, run the executable file and follow the steps in the XCTU Setup Wizard.

Once installation is complete, a “What’s new” dialog appears where you can review the new XCTU features.
