There is one more prerequisite package for MX with some weather station types. ~~The~~You may notice [[MX_Basic_info#HidSharp.dll\|HidSharp.dll]] in same folder as executable, this is a cross-platform [https://www.nuget.org/packages/HidSharp/ Universal Serial Bus (USB) Human Interface Device (HID) library] ~~used by MX to connect to weather stations that appear as a HID connecting via USB (like Fine Offset and USB connected Oregon Scientific models) calls a package file called ''libudev~~.~~so.1'',~~ so ~~you may need to [[#install\|search]] your Linux computer for this file, and [[#install]] it if it is missing.

MX uses this library for weather stations (like Fine Offset and USB connected Oregon Scientific models) that appear as a HID via a USB connection. To check if your weather station appears as a HID, download this [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/download/file.php?id=11414 USB HID test package] and run it.
