Plug the device in, check the device connection

Install NUT using your prefered package manager. OpenUPS requires at least networkupstools 2.7.3 or higher.
e.g on Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install nutIf installing from sources:
sudo apt install build-essential python libtool pkg-config automake
sudo addgroup nut
sudo useradd -M -s /bin/false -g nut ups
git clone git://github.com/networkupstools/nut.git
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-user=ups --with-group=nut
make
sudo make install
sudo cp /usr/local/ups/etc/upsd.conf.sample /usr/local/ups/etc/upsd.conf
sudo cp /usr/local/ups/etc/upsd.users.sample /usr/local/ups/etc/upsd.users
sudo chmod 770 /usr/local/ups/etc/upsd.users
sudo chown root.nut /usr/local/ups/etc/upsd.users
Stop the upsdrvctl service
e.g on Ubuntu:
$ sudo upsdrvctl stopIf installed from sources:
$ /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsdrvctl stopEdit /etc/ups.conf (or /usr/local/ups/etc/ups.conf from sources) and add the following lines at the bottom:
[openups]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
vendorid = 04d8
pollfreq = 30
desc = "Mini-Box OpenUPS"
productid = d004
Configure the driver for the openups
e.g on Ubuntu:
$ sudo /lib/nut/usbhid-ups -u root -a openups
If installed from sources:
/usr/local/ups/bin/usbhid-ups -u ups -a openups
If you get the error "Can’t chdir to /var/run/nut: No such file or directory"
$ sudo mkdir /var/run/nut
$ sudo chown root:nut /var/run/nut
$ chmod 770 /var/run/nutChange the permissions for the USB port
a) Find the bus number and device number for the UPS
$ lsusb | grep "d004"
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04d8:d004 Microchip Technology, Inc.b)
$ sudo chmod 0666 /dev/bus/usb/[bus number]/[device number]NOTE: these permissions will need to be reset everytime you restart the computer or unplug the device
OPTIONAL: a UDEV rule can be added to avoid this
$ sudo touch /etc/udev/rules.d/50-usb-openups.conf
$ echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idProduct}=="d004", MODE="0666"' | sudo tee --append /etc/udev/rules.d/50-usb-openups.confStart the driver service
e.g on Ubuntu:
$ sudo upsdrvctl startIf installed from sources:
$ /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsdrvctl startStart UPSD
e.g on Ubuntu:
$ sudo upsdIf installed from sources:
sudo /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd -u ups
You can now view the live UPS data using your preffered UPSD Client
e.g with the built in UPSC client
