STM32CubeMX release 4.13.1 does not install in Linux
Hi Ben,
The problem you are facing is maybe because you run on a 32 bit machine.
In version 4.13.1 the installer wrapper is a 64 bit application. In the 4.14 release that will be out today, the wrapper is a 32 bit application that runs on both 32 bit and 64 bit Linux.
Anyways, you are right, the wrapper is just a call to java -jar .... trying to find the appropriate version of java in your path. We have seen some customers with still java 1.6 installed in parallel with the 1.7 or 1.8.
Concerning the desktop launcher, you are right this is an improvement that could be implemented but has not been done yet as it is very desktop dependant.
Regards
Daniel
