STM32CubeIDE after installing on debian is nowhere to be found

[TMark.14]

It is Debian based distio (crunchbang plusplus), after installing IDE using sh script provided, the IDE is found in the list of programs, but it is not in the PATH, and I could not find location of the installed files. Also attempting to run installation again would tell me "Nothing to install", so I assume that installation was successful.

Any idea how to run program that is nowhere to be found? 🙂

Gotta be somewhere.

find / -name stm32cubeide

Or if install didn't require superuser access, you could probably restrict to the home directory.

find ~ -name stm32cubeide

Looking at the install script probably gives a clue as well.

THANKS!!

I found it now and it RUNS 🙂

I tried find command before but I should have used sudo with it. With your command it pointed right at it and the path is /opt/st/stm32cubeide_1.8.0/stm32cubeide. So I can run it by manually searching for it. Will have to find a way to add in to the path i guess.

Usually programs put a symbolic link in /usr/bin, which should be in your path. But you can add it yourself.

sudo ln -s /opt/st/stm32cubeide_1.8.0/stm32cubeide /usr/bin/stm32cubeide

I quite like Linux. Unfortunately, program compatibility is generally awful on it.

I just added the symbolic link and now it is awesome, I can run the program from app meny, which is great.

I just can't stand Windows anymore, and I am very happy with the way STCubeIDE works on linux, and linux os is just faster on my machine, also does not download who knows what in the background.
