Getting Started on Linux

This guide walks you through setting up and running CyderVis on Linux.

Step 1: Download and Run CyderVis

1. Visit the CyderVis Releases page on GitHub.

2. Under the latest release, expand the Assets dropdown and download the Linux .zip package.

   

3. Extract the downloaded .zip file to your preferred location.

4. Run the executable:

   ./CyderVis_vx.x.x_linux
   

Once launched, the CyderVis window will open:

Step 2: Bring up a CAN interface

With your USB CAN adapter connected, bring up the CAN interface using the ip command:

sudo ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 1000000

This starts the can0 interface at a bitrate of 1 Mbps.

You can verify the interface is active using:

ip link show can0

By default, CAN devices have a tx queue length of 10. If sending many messages at a fast rate, it's usually a good idea to increase this. After bringing the interface up, the tx queue length can be increased using:

sudo ip link set can0 txqueuelen 1000

⚙️ Note:
Replace can0 and 1000000 with your actual interface name and bitrate if different.
