## Flasher
|
||||
|
||||
### Why does my operating system flag Meshtastic Flasher as having malware?
|
||||
|
||||
The flasher contains no malware and completely passed the Microsoft malware scanning. It appears that a lot of file download services are using the Windows Defender data, so if you're seeing alerts of a detected trojan please [update your Windows Defender definitions](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/defenderupdates).
|
||||
|
||||
### What if I'm still having issues on Windows 10?
|
||||
|
||||
It's been reported that `App execution aliases` might conflict with one another and prevent python3 from being able to run properly. There is an example of a fix located [here](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-gui-installer/issues/154).

### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
In the Meshtastic Flasher, device detection may not work when using the external USB to Serial adapter. You might need to manually select the correct device type from the drop-down.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes you might receive an error for COM port permission in the Meshtastic Flasher or the manual device install scripts, this can be caused by a number of different issues.
|
||||
You might receive an error for COM port permission in the manual device install scripts, this can be caused by a number of different issues.
|
||||
|
||||
You might need to run the process as an administrator, check to ensure software like Cura isn't monopolizing COM ports, or reboot.

For **Windows**, the [installer](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-gui-installer/releases/download/winapp1.0.3/meshtastic-flasher.zip) will manage installing python and flasher updates automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
For **macOS** and **Linux**, it is recommended that you install using `pip`.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Update an existing installation using `pip install meshtastic-flasher -U`

## Flashing the Device
|
||||
|
||||
The Meshtastic Flasher will flash the latest firmware on esp32 and nrf52 devices. This is a newly developed application (as of February 1, 2022), so there may be some issues discovered as it is tested by users.
|
||||
|
||||
There are three steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click the **GET VERSIONS** button to get the versions available (from GitHub).
|
||||
2. Click the **DETECT DEVICE** button to determine the port and device variant connected.
|
||||
3. Click the **FLASH** button to flash the version selected using the port selected to the device.
|
||||
|
||||
## Issues?
|
||||
|
||||
If you run into an issue, please create a ticket here: [Flasher Issues](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-gui-installer/issues)
|
||||
|
||||
The code can be found at the [Meshtastic-gui-installer repo](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-gui-installer)
|
||||
|
||||
## Known limitations
|
||||
|
||||
The following are known limitations:
|
||||
|
||||
- Raspberry Pi is not available, since it is arm-based and there are no pre-built libraries for [PySide](https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Python)
|
||||
- Ubuntu 20.04 is the version used for testing, it may work with other versions.
|
||||
- See [README](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-gui-installer/blob/master/README.md) for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
## Connect and Configure Device
|
||||
|
||||
After flashing the Meshtastic firmware to the device, you can proceed with the initial configuration.
