How to install CubeMX so that STM32CubeIDE can recognize it?

[DYann.1]

Hello,

I would like to know how to install CubeMX and in which directory should I install it so that STM32CubeIDE can recognize it ?

Thank you

With current versions, you don't need to separately install CubeMX - it's all built in to CubeIDE

    In my first step I have already installed STM32CubeIDE

Does this mean I already have the correct version of CubeMX installed ? Right ?

[Andrew Neil]

Yes - it's all built-in

So why I have this picture :

However, I installed the latest version of STM32CubeIDE (1.18.0).Why ? I opened an .ioc file that someone gave me, is that probably why ?

When I try to create a Projet with STM32CubeIDE 1.18.0, I can see the available versions of CubeMX and I don't have the latest version of CubeMX 

[Andrew Neil]

That's not the CubeMX version - that's the Firmware Package version.

How to find the version CubeMX integrated in this version STM32CubeIDE 1.18.0 ?

[Andrew Neil]

I don't think that has any meaning - it's a single product, with a single version number ?

Why, exactly, do you want to know this?

Someone gave me an .ioc file but I can't open it because I have an old version of CubeMX.

   

But, I find another way

to open this file by importing an existing '.ioc' file. Now I can read the information in this file.
