linux Installing Cahute on Linux distributions

In order to install Cahute’s library and command-line utilities on your Linux distribution, the following methods are available.

archlinux Installing Cahute on Archlinux and derivatives, using the AUR

Cahute and its command-line utilities are present on the Archlinux User Repository, you can pop up your favourite pacman frontend and install the cahute package:

  • Using paru:

    paru -S cahute

  • Using pikaur:

    pikaur -S cahute

Once installed, it is recommended to add your user to the uucp group, for access to serial and USB devices, by running the following command as root then restarting your session:

usermod -a -G uucp <your-username>

lephe Installing Cahute on any Linux distribution, using GiteaPC

Cahute and its command-line utilities are installable through GiteaPC, by running the following command:

giteapc install cake/cahute@0.6

Note

By default, the logging level is set to warning, and the command-line utilities are stripped.

If you wish to set the default logging level to info and keep the debug symbols, you can set the debug configuration by using the following command instead of the previous one:

giteapc install cake/cahute@0.6:debug

Warning

If you are using GiteaPC on Linux, it is likely that your system is using udev. If this is the case, you must move the udev rule from the user install directory to the system directory, by running the following command:

sudo mv ~/.local/lib/udev/rules.d/*.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

From there, you must reload the rules to make sure they apply by running the following command:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

If your user isn’t already in the uucp group, you must also make that the case by running the following command:

sudo usermod -a -G uucp <your_username>

Then restart the login session or host to ensure that the new group applies to your new session.

Installing Cahute on other distributions

Note

This guide may not be exhaustive, and a package may exist for your distribution. Please check with your distribution’s package registry and/or wiki before proceeding!

If no package exists for your distribution, or you are to package Cahute for your distribution, you can build the project yourself.
