Free and open source: no price, no ads, no account. It identifies the ECM, reads and saves the EEPROM, shows and logs live data (with an optional Innovate LC-2 wideband), reads trouble codes and runs tests, edits tunes offline, auto-tunes the fuel maps from your logs, and writes tunes to the ECM. Remote tuning lets a tuner work on your tune over the internet, end-to-end encrypted, with only the permissions you give. Tests, resets and writing to the ECM are locked until you unlock them in Settings; every write makes a verified backup first and is read back. WARNING: a bad tune can damage your engine. Check every change before writing it. XBTune comes with no warranty (GPL-3.0); you are responsible for what you write to your ECM. After installing, connect the interfaces it needs: sudo snap connect xbtune:bluez sudo snap connect xbtune:raw-usb sudo snap connect xbtune:removable-media Then open XBTune from the app menu, or try the command line: xbtune.cli doctor xbtune.cli scan xbtune.cli info --bt 00:11:22:AA:BB:CC xbtune.cli info --serial /dev/ttyUSB0 ### Package name * xbtune --- ### License * GPL-3.0-or-later --- ### Last updated * Today - latest/candidate --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/xbtune/arch#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install XBTune Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install XBTune To install XBTune, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install xbtune --candidate ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
