How to use under Ubuntu 18.04

[henfri]

Hello,

just my notes, as the readme did not help me enough:

sudo bash
setxkbmap -layout de
apt-get update
add-apt-repository universe
service systemd-resolved stop

Then

git clone https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert
cd tuya-convert
./install_prereq.sh

Check the name of your wifi interface (eg wlp6s0)

gedit config.txt and enter your wifi interface under WLAN=

./start_flash.sh
you will get an error in line 138 (terminated). You can ignore that.

If you know this, it is easy :-)

Thanks for tuya-convert!

Thank you very much @henfri !

I was following the guide in the c't article and the readme, but both didn't mention that the universe repo needs to be added, so I was struggling because a lot of packages could not be installed. With your notes, everything worked fine.

@kueblc it might be helpful for other users if this information could be added to the readme. Thanks for tuya-convert!
