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

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.

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 ?

Yes - it's all built-in

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

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