2.2.2 Step 2: Download the Software
Go to the
ModusToolbox EAP
and download the appropriate software for your platform:
▪
Windows:
ModusToolbox setup 1.0.0.<build>.x86_64.exe
▪
Linux:
ModusToolbox 1.0.0.<build>.x86_64.tar.gz
▪
macOS:
ModusToolbox 1.0.0.<build>.dmg
2.2.3 Step 3: Install ModusToolbox
Note:
Do not use spaces in the installation directory name. Various tools such as make do not support spaces. Also, do not
use common illegal characters, such as:
* . " / \ [ ] : ; | = ,
▪
Windows:
Run the
ModusToolbox setup 1.0.0.<build>.x86_64.exe
installer program. By default, it is installed here:
C:\Users\<user_name>\ModusToolbox_1.0
Note:
If you have not installed ModusToolbox previously, you may be prompted to restart your computer because the
installer installs the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 redistributable.
▪
Linux:
Extract the
ModusToolbox 1.0.0.<build>.x86_64.tar.gz
file to your desired location. The extraction process will
create a
ModusToolbox_<version>
directory.
▪
macOS:
1. Double-click the downloaded
ModusToolbox 1.0.0.<build>.dmg
file. This file will be mounted as a disk image on
your machine. A window for the mounted image appears.
2. On the mounted image window, drag and drop the
ModusToolbox_<version>
folder on the left into the
Applications
folder on the right.
3. Eject the mounted ModusToolbox image in the Finder by right-clicking the
ModusToolbox_<version>
icon and
clicking
Eject
.
Note:
You may be prompted to install macOS command line developer tools that give you the option to get the
XCode/native make application.
2.2.4 Step 4: Run the Modus IDE
Note:
For Linux and macOS to properly initialize modus-shell-1.0 tools, run the Modus IDE at least once after installation.
Otherwise, projects will not build. After the IDE loads, modus-shell-1.0 tools will be ready for use.
▪
Windows:
Navigate to <installed_location>/ModusToolbox/eclipse
and run
ModusToolbox.exe
.
Note:
You may be asked to grant access by the firewall manager.
▪
Linux:
Navigate to
<extracted_location>/ModusToolbox/eclipse
and run
ModusToolbox
.
▪
macOS:
Navigate to the directory where you moved the
ModusToolbox.app
file (e.g.,
/Applications/ModusToolbox
) and
run
ModusToolbox.app
.
When the Modus IDE runs for the first time, a dialog opens to specify the Workspace location. The default location for the
workspace is:
[user_home]\mtw
.
