In  Linux,  the  USB  driver  installation  script  is  found  in  the  same  directory  as  the
acx_stapl_player itself.

present, as mentioned in the above note):

1.

Change to the directory containing the acx_stapl_player

% cd ace_install_dir/system/cmd

With administrator privileges

*

, run the Perl install script 

install_acx_bitporter_usb.pl

% sudo perl ./install_acx_bitporter_usb.pl

3.

After the installation completes successfully, the script ends with the following 
message:
