# 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.
