  • To get it running on an ubuntu system isn't really that difficult - the standard installation needs the package python-serial and you are ready to go. so do this before you download and unpack the software wahlau: ~/$ sudo apt-get install python-serial download the package and unpack it where you want to run it. i suppose it will in your home directory, so following i will assume ~/putools to be where you should find it.
