Install

Fetch required binary archive for your computer system and install the utility software to control the special features of the programmer.

Avrdude will be used to perform the actual programming once everything is setup.

tar Jxvf pololu-usb-avr-programmer-v2-1.1.0-linux-rpi.tar.xz
cd pololu-usb-avr-programmer-v2-1.1.0-linux-rpi
sudo ./install.sh

Test

Check that things are operating

$ pavr2cmd -s
