How to install Atollic TRUEStudio on Linux?

Hello, I have installed previous version of Atollic (< 9.3) before following the official installation guide, but now it seems to be outdated since the downloadable file isn't a .tar.gz file anymore, but now just a .gz file.

I am using EndeavourOS Linux x86_64. I have tried doing gzip -d en.TrueSTUDIO_V9.3_lin.gz, but then I don't know what to do with the extracted file. I mean, it extracts a en.TrueSTUDIO_V9.3 file which I tried to make executable with chmod +x, but nothing happens. If I open the directory with thunar, I can see the previous file as a compressed file which stills has another file inside. Nonetheless, I cannot decompress said file.

I would appreciate any assistance.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @ARied.1​ ,

Sorry for the delay. Just arrived back to office after summer holiday.

Try renaming the installer from blabla.gz to blabla.tar.gz

I only have access to a Windows machine but with 7-zip I can extract the expected files by renaming the file...

Then the next question is - why has this old file which has not been modified for years been renamed on the delivery server?! <-- This I will have to check internally. Sounds like IT-issue.

@mattias norlander​ is probably the best expert, providing he is not on vacation.

TRUEStudio is Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND) - STM32CubeIDE is the replacement:

I understand that we prefer to use TrueSTUDIO, it is also my case.

It's faster, reliable, and and it's also upgadable: How to update TrueSTUDIO and some tips to configure Eclipse based IDE. - AdAstra-Soft

But here I can't help because I'm a Windows user...

@Andrew Neil​ I understand, but it has been chosen as the IDE for a class I'm in, so I can't really do anything about it. Right now I'm running it on a WM with Windows, but it's really not ideal, so I wanted to know if there is any solution.

The you should go to the teacher for assistance - she must know how to do it.
