By default, Linux restricts raw USB access to the root user. To allow your 64-bit application to access the hardware without sudo , create a udev rule: sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-custom-usb.rules Use code with caution.
If you are developing a product to distribute to customers, you should create a custom INF file using the inf-wizard. This creates a standalone installer package that associates your specific Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID) with the libusb driver.
On 64-bit Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS), libusb uses the native kernel backend . libusb driver 64 bit
Right-click your device, select , and go to the Driver tab. The driver provider should state "Microsoft" (for WinUSB) or show the respective libusb backend. Setting Up libusb on Linux and macOS (64-bit)
This method installs LibUSB as the primary device driver, removing any existing driver. By default, Linux restricts raw USB access to the root user
: The official libusb repository provides pre-built Windows binaries in 7z archives. These are built with multiple compiler versions (MinGW, VS2013, VS2015, VS2017, VS2019, VS2022, VS2025) and include ARM64 support. The 7z archive is the correct source for Windows binaries.
Wait for the process to complete. Windows may prompt you with a security warning; confirm the installation. Verifying the 64-Bit Installation This creates a standalone installer package that associates
