If you have already installed the device driver, you do not need to reinstall it.
(1) Open a terminal and log in as root.
(2) Navigate to the drivers folder inside the RobotCoding folder.
(3) Without plugging the USB dongle into the USB port of the PC,
run the shell script by typing the following command in the terminal.

If the device driver is installed with the USB dongle plugged into the PC, Linux OS does not recognize the USB dongle.
In this case, simply unplug the USB dongle and plug it back in.
