# BlueZ
|
||||
|
||||
[BlueZ](http://www.bluez.org/) is an implementation of the
|
||||
[Bluetooth](/wiki/bluetooth.md) standard.
|
||||
This entry features the BlueZ package and all software that is based on it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
On most linux distributions BlueZ can be installed with the `bluez` package.
|
||||
Additionally the `bluez-utils` package needs to be installed.
|
||||
To load the kernel module `modprobe btusb` needs to be run.
|
||||
Afterwards the
|
||||
[service](/wiki/linux/systemd.md#startstopenabledisable-a-service) can be
|
||||
started and enabled by running the following commands.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
systemctl start bluetooth.service
|
||||
systemctl enable bluetooth.service
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
The Bluetooth features can be managed by different types of front-ends.
|
||||
|
||||
- `bluetoothctl` is a command-line interface included in the `bluez-utils`
|
||||
package
|
||||
- `bluetuith` can be used as a bluetooth manager with a terminal user interface
|
||||
It is included in a package of the same name, that needs to be installed
|
||||
before usage.
