For now, FastECU is build as portable package that don't need to be installed in traditional way. Software is developed with Qt and has versions for multiple platforms. As for now, there is tested versions found for Windows 10, Linux x86_64 and Linux aarch64. Windows version is zipped folder, Linux versions are AppImages. Linux x86_64 version is tested on Linux Mint 21.3 that is based on Ubuntu Jammy 22.04 and Linux aarch64 version is tested on OrangePi 5 Pro 16gb with Joshua Riek's version of Ubuntu Noble 24.04. Basicly, they should run succesfully on other distros too.

Are there extra steps in the installation?

This could be a connection issue, so not sure.

When opening the application it complains about no RomRaider or ECUFlash paths. Do we need to define anything here?

Fast ECU detects the Taxtrix 2.0 and connects to the ECU and lights up green.

Fast ECU 0.1.0-beta.1 - Connecting to an Impreza 2009 2.0 CAN Hitachi

You can start logging and no errors appear. However read from ECU is greyed out.

Am I choosing the wrong protocol and vehicle? Impreza 2008+ Hitachi WA1221970WWW

Or do I need to configure the ECU Flash Path and Rom Raider paths too? Each time I configure these, it switches to COM port and wont connect anymore via the OpenPort 2.0

No any additional steps on installing. Sent you PM about this.

Thanks for confirming.

I just leave the errors there each time it starts and connect any way, voila

This looks super promising! Just downloaded and will take it for a test drive on my 16 STi with Dime mod, pointed to definition folder, opened rom and tables all show up good.
