4. Run RFXflash on Linux under Mono

Execute once:
Install Mono:

[sudo] apt-get install libmono-microsoft-visualbasic8.0-cil
If the USB device is created as ttyACMx you will need to create a link between
/dev/ttyACMx and a serial port /dev/ttySx.
This is not necessary if the device is created as /dev/ttyUSBx !!
[sudo] ln -sf /dev/ttyACM1 /dev/ttyS3
Note: sudo must be entered without brackets [ ]. sudo is required if not running as super user.
Launch the RFXflash.exe program.
