My company has strick internet security. So TouchGFXDesigner is not connected to the internet. Can I use TouchGFXDesigner without Internet?

So there is another PC installed Linux. Internet security for Linux is not very strict. If possible, I want to use TouchGFXDesigner at Linux PC. Is it possible?

Hello @sini​,

Yes you can use TouchGFXDesigner without internet, but some functionalities won't work.

Without an internet connection, you will not be able to create a project with a specific TouchGFX Board Setup, or download a demo/example to get inspiration.

But to be honest, the use of TouchGFX and all STM32Cube Ecosystem (STM32CubeMX, STM32CubeIDE, Cube Programmer) will be very restrained without an internet connection.

Running TouchGFXDesigner on Linux is not possible, but we recommend to run it in a Windows VM.

The code generated by TouchGFXDesigner is usable though, both on Windows and Linux, like it is explained in this article.
