==Open a terminal==
Open a terminal on the host computer.
[[File: Ubuntu_terminal.png|frame|center|link=|Ubuntu terminal]]
All the  commands preceded by {{PC$}} have to be executed from the host computer terminal.
* Create your STM32MPU workspace directory on the host computer:
 {{PC$}} mkdir $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace
 {{PC$}} cd $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace

==Check the host computer Internet access==
* An Internet access through http and https protocols must be provided.

The command below enables checking for Internet access through http/https protocols:
 {{PC$}} wget -q www.google.com && echo "Internet access over HTTP/HTTPS is OK !" || echo "No internet access over HTTP/HTTPS ! You may need to set up a proxy."

If an 'OK' message is returned, the network is correctly configured.<br>
In this case, skip the rest of this section.<br>
<br>
Otherwise, a proxy for http/https protocols is required.<br>
The best solution is to set this proxy through the shell variables http_proxy and https_proxy:
 {{PC$}} export http_proxy=http://''<MyProxyLogin>'':''<MyProxyPassword>''@''<MyProxyServerUrl>'':''<MyProxyPort>''
 {{PC$}} export https_proxy=http://''<MyProxyLogin>'':''<MyProxyPassword>''@''<MyProxyServerUrl>'':''<MyProxyPort>''

Check again the Internet access using the command:
 {{PC$}} wget -q www.google.com && echo "Internet access over HTTP/HTTPS is OK !" || echo "No internet access over HTTP/HTTPS ! You may need to set up a proxy."

==Install the tools==
===STM32CubeProgrammer===

* Create your STM32MPU tools directory on the host computer:
 {{PC$}} mkdir $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MPU-Tools
 {{PC$}} mkdir $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MPU-Tools/STM32CubeProgrammer-x.y.z
* Create a temporary directory in your STM32MPU workspace:
 {{PC$}} mkdir $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/tmp
* Download [https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeprog.html#getsoftware-scroll STM32CubeProgrammer] in the following directory<br> '''$HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/tmp'''

STM32CubeProgrammer V2.11 is recommended for {{EcosystemRelease | revision=4.0.0| range= }} 

* Uncompress  the archive file to get the STM32CubeProgrammer installers:
 {{PC$}} cd $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/tmp
 {{PC$}} unzip SetupSTM32CubeProgrammer.zip
* Execute the Linux<sup>&reg;</sup> installer, which guides you through the installation process. Select "$HOME/STM32MPU-Tools/STM32CubeProgrammer-x.y.z" as installation directory when it is requested by the installer. 
 {{PC$}} ./SetupSTM32CubeProgrammer-x.y.z.linux

The screenshots below have been obtained with old {{Highlight|STM32CubeProgrammer V2.7.0}}. They are provided {{Highlight| as examples}} still valid for higher version :

[[File: STM32CubeProgrammer_installation_welcome_27.png|frame|center|link=|Welcome page]]
[[File: STM32CubeProgrammer_installation_path_25.png|frame|center|link=|Installation path]]
* Add the STM32CubeProgrammer binary path to your PATH environment variable:
 export PATH=$HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MPU-Tools/STM32CubeProgrammer-x.y.z/bin:$PATH

* Check that the STM32CubeProgrammer tool is properly installed and accessible:
 {{PC$}} STM32_Programmer_CLI --h
      -------------------------------------------------------------------
                        STM32CubeProgrammer vx.y.z                  
      -------------------------------------------------------------------

===USB serial link===
* Install the libusb on your host computer:
 {{PC$}} sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0
* To allow STM32CubeProgrammer to access the USB port through low-level commands, proceed as follows:
 {{PC$}} cd $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MPU-Tools/STM32CubeProgrammer-x.y.z/Drivers/rules
 {{PC$}} sudo cp *.* /etc/udev/rules.d/

==Download the image==

* Create your STM32MP1 Starter Package directory on the  host computer: 
 {{PC$}} mkdir $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MP1-Ecosystem-v4.0.0
 {{PC$}} mkdir $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MP1-Ecosystem-v4.0.0/Starter-Package
 {{PC$}} cd $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MP1-Ecosystem-v4.0.0/Starter-Package

* Download the [{{EcosystemRelease/Package | revision=4.0.0| package=Images package | request=url}}/{{EcosystemRelease/Package | revision=4.0.0| package=Images package | request=name}} STM32MP1-Ecosystem-v4.0.0 Starter Package] to the following directory:<br> '''$HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MP1-Ecosystem-v4.0.0/Starter-Package'''
* Uncompress the tarball file to get the binaries for the different partitions of the image, and the Flash layout files
 {{PC$}} tar xvf {{EcosystemRelease/Package | revision=4.0.0| package=Images package | request=name}}
