If you’ve downloaded a pre-built binary for a specific vehicle, see the Flashing a Pre-compiled Binary section for instructions on how to flash your CAN translator. Most users do not need to set up the full development described in these docs.
Install Git from your distribution’s package manager.
Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install git
Arch Linux:
$ [sudo] pacman -S git
gcc4, patchutils, git, unzip, python, python-argparse, check, curl, libsasl2, ca-certificates
$ set -o igncr && export SHELLOPTS
$ export http_proxy=<your proxy> $ export https_proxy=<your proxy>
$ git clone https://github.com/openxc/cantranslator
$ cd cantranslator $ script/bootstrap.sh
The bootstrap.sh script is tested in Cygwin, OS X Mountain Lion, Ubuntu 12.04 and Arch Linux - other operating systems may need to install the dependencies manually.
