Installing MPLAB В® X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and its compilers is as easy as any computer application. MPLAB X IDE and the MPLAB XC Compilers are each installed separately and each has an installer application you can download and launch. MPLAB X IDE and MPLAB XC Compilers install and run on the following computing platforms:

• Windows В®
• OS/X В®
• Linux В®

Installing MPLAB X IDE

Navigate to the MPLABВ® X home page and scroll down to the ‘Downloads’ tab, where you can download an installer and the release notes/user guide for your specific platform.

After downloading, run the installer, and follow the instructions on the installer dialogs.

For specific installation instructions, refer to the «MPLABВ® X IDE Release Notes / User Guide vX.XX» .

What components are installed?

MPLAB X IDE will install with the following features that are built into the application:

• A full-featured programmer’s text editor
• A project manager (visible as the Projects window).
• An assembler for Assembly Language Programming
• A debugger engine that provides breakpoints, single stepping, Watches windows and all the features of a modern debugger
• A software simulator for all PIC MCU and dsPIC DSC devices
• USB Drivers for all supported programmers and in-circuit debuggers

Installing MPLABВ® XC Compilers

Navigate to the «MPLAB XC Compilers» home page, then scroll down to the ‘Downloads’ tab, where you can select and download the XC Compilers installer for your operating system. You can install all versions of the XC compiler (XC8, XC16, and XC32) so you can be ready to develop for any Microchip MCU:

AVR and SAM Device Support
XC8 support for AVR MCUs and XC32 support for SAM MCUs is in development and new devices are added with every release of MPLAB X and XC Compiler version.

After downloading, run each installer, and follow the installer dialogs to install each XC Compiler separately. The recommended installation choice for this training is the «Free» mode. Simply click through and accept all default settings.

The next time MPLAB X IDE is started, it will scan and locate all the newly installed XC compilers.

MPLAB X IDE and its XC Compilers are now installed and ready to use!

Developer Help

MPLABВ® X IDE and the MPLAB XC Compilers are 32-bit applications, so to run them on a 64-bit system with a 64-bit Linux distribution, you may need to install additional packages from your distribution’s repository.

For better or worse, there is still quite a bit of variation among 64-bit Linux distributions with respect to their support of 32-bit applications and exactly which libraries are installed or required by default. The information on this page will hopefully allow you to successfully install and run MPLAB X IDE and the MPLAB XC Compilers on a 64-bit Linux system.

Do I have a 64-bit Linux installation?

You can determine whether you are running a 64-bit version of Linux by running the following command in a terminal:

If the output has «64» at the end (e.g. x86_64), then you have a 64-bit system.

What about 64-bit distributions with multiarch support?

64-bit versions of Debian based distributions such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint and their derivatives, and perhaps some others now include multiarch support. Ideally, this means that you don’t need to install ia32-libs, though you may still require some 32-bit versions of specific libraries.

You can determine if a 64-bit Debian based distribution has multiarch support by running the following command in a terminal:

If the output is i386 you have multiarch support and don’t need to install the ia32-libs 32-bit runtime libraries, though you will probably need to install other 32-bit libraries.

What 32-bit libraries / packages do I need to install?

MPLAB X IDE requires the libraries listed below. The MPLAB XC compilers require a subset of these libraries, so if you install them for MPLAB X IDE, you will be all set to use the MPLAB XC compilers as well.

Package	Description	Libraries
ia32-libs	32-bit runtime libraries. Only for 64-bit distributions without multiarch support
libc6:i386	Embedded GNU C Library	libc.so, libdl.so, libm.so, libpthread.so, librt.so
libx11-6:i386	X11 client-side library	libX11.so
libxext6:i386	X11 miscellaneous extension library	libXext.so
libstdc++6:i386	GNU Standard C++ Library	libstdc++.so
libexpat1:i386	XML parsing C library	libexpat.so

Distribution Specific Notes

Ubuntu 14.04 and later

libc6:i386 is the only one of these packages you will find if you are using Synaptic. These must be installed from the command line using apt-get:

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxext6:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libexpat1:i386

Fedora

If you try to install without the required libraries, the installer will quit without any warning messages.
Tested on versions 20 and above.

sudo dnf install libX11.i686 libXext.i686 libgcc.i686 libstdc++.i686 expat.i686

Mageia 4

Installer script can’t detect 32 bit libraries on this platform.
Work around suggested by a user:
In the installation script function ‘check32BitLibraries()’ search for:

echo Check for 32 Bit libraries
out=0
for lib in $@
do
ldconfig -p | grep $lib | grep 386 > /dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
if [ $out -eq 0 ]; then
echo These 32 bit libraries were not found and are needed for MPLAB X to run:

and change
ldconfig -p | grep $lib | grep 386
to
ldconfig -p | grep $lib | grep -v x86-64
to enable detection.
According to the developers, a fix similar to this will be in the version 2.25 installer script.

Package Installation

Check Installation Status

You may already have one or more of these installed on your system. To determine whether a package is installed on a Debian based distribution, run the following command in a terminal:

For example: dpkg -s libexpat1:i386

For rpm based systems, the command is:

Installing Required Packages

On Debian based systems (e.g. Ubuntu, Mint) packages may be installed with apt-get in a terminal window:

sudo apt-get install package1 package2 packageN

Or they may be installed from your distribution’s graphical package manager such as Synaptic, Muon, or the Ubuntu Software Center.

For Linux distributions that use systemd, the systemd-udevd unit may be setup to avoid inter-process communications via sockets for security reasons. Recently Ubuntu 18.04LTS has been shipped in this way. This is a change from 17.10. Other distributions like Manjaro are also shipped with blocked inter-process communications via systemd. MPLAB X IPE and IDE rely on the systemd-udevd unit for plug and play. MPLAB X software has udev rules that allow a program to run on plug-and-play notifications. This program relies on sockets to communicate with MPLAB X IDE and IPE. So, to have working plug-and-play in MPLAB X software, you need to re-enable socket communications.

You can do this by adding an override file for systemd-udevd.

$ sudo systemctl edit systemd-udevd
