VT Anywhere requires a license for each device. An authorization code will need to be input on first start-up or when the license expires.
Visit our License Request page for more information.
VT Anywhere has an application that can be installed via the executable. After installation, run the application and input a license code.
Since VT Anywhere is not yet a "signed" app, it may need to be manually approved to be installed. When installing via the installer, a window like the one below may pop up asking for authorization to run.
Click More info when this window pops up, and click Run anyway in order to install VT Anywhere.
Installing the application on Linux can be done by using this command:
sudo dpkg -i <vt-anywhere.deb> (where <vt-anywhere.deb> is replaced with the name of the installer)
If the necessary dependencies are not installed, use the following command:
sudo apt install libgtk-3-0 libnotify4 libnss3 libxss1 libxtst6 xdg-utils libatspi2.0-0 libuuid1 libappindicator3-1 libsecret-1-0
If the installer fails due to missing dependencies, use the following command:
sudo apt -f install
Note: When updating VT Anywhere applications on Linux, VT Anywhere must first be uninstalled. This does not apply to the server versions.
sudo dpkg --remove vt-anywhere
sudo dpkg -i <vt-anywhere.deb>
The user will need to run Launch_VT‑Anywhere_PCAN.bat. The server will be set up and the computer's default web browser will open to display the user interface. If licensing has not been performed, this will be the first page displayed when connected.
In a Linux environment, VT Anywhere must be run from the command line. In the VT Anywhere main directory, run the following command:
./vtanywhere --socketcan <your-can-adapter>
e.g. ./vt-anywhere --socketcan can0
If no CAN adapter is selected, then can0 will be selected by default.
Open a supported web browser and navigate to localhost:8000 to view the user interface. If licensing has not been performed, this will be the first page displayed when connected.
For Linux and ARM architectures, running ./vtanywhere may fail unless the appropriate files have been marked as executable first. To do this, run the following command in the topmost directory:
sudo chmod -R +x <vt-anywhere-directory>
VT Anywhere currently supports the following CAN adapters:
