To use 64 bit version (starting from Granity 1.14.0), just use GraniteLinux64 instead of GranityLinux as stated above.

This works in an ideal case where all necessary system libraries are installed. However, in typical cases few additional libraries (like 32 bit Qt4) are needed. For distribution specific instructions and library dependencies, please see guides below.

It will list library dependencies and give hints of "not found" libraries. Feel free to add a chapter in this wiki page to help out others with the similar problem!

Some distributions don't give enough permissions to access the port. To overcome this, try starting Granity with root permissions (command ''sudo ./GranityLinux'') or change port permissions (command sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyUSB0).

===Using direct FTDI USB chipset support===
+
−
Granity from version 1.14.0 supports connecting with the direct support of FTDI USB chip found on Granite Devices products. This is alternative to the virtual serial port and if Granity finds the compatible FTDI device, it is automatically listed in the communication interface list.

+
−
{{info|Sometimes kernel's FTDI driver is being loaded automatically and it prevents the usage of direct FTDI support in Granity. If device connection fails to open, try running command ''sudo rmmod ftdi_sio'' and try launching Granity again (if it works, consider blocking ftdi_sio driver automatic with [https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/avoid-linux-kernel-module-driver-autoloading.html these] instructions). Also it may be necessary to run Granity with root privileges (''sudo ./GrantyLinux'') or adjust system USB device permissions. }}

This happens if the executable is launched in the other folder than it's location (because program doesn't find then "flot" folder). To workaround, start program in the same folder where the GranityLinux file is. I.e. in command prompt run ./GranityLinux. The fix for this is coming after V1.9.1.
