im trying to execute minicom on centos.

i installed it using this command:

yum install minicom

after the installation completed, i ran this command:

minicom

but i get this even after installing minicom:

[root@host ~]# minicom
minicom: WARNING: configuration file not found, using defaults
Device /dev/modem access failed: No such file or directory.
[root@host ~]#

what can i do to fix this?

you need to configur it so send this command:

minicom -s

then you will get this menu:


            ┌─────[configuration]──────┐
            │ Filenames and paths      │
            │ File transfer protocols  │
            │ Serial port setup        │
            │ Modem and dialing        │
            │ Screen and keyboard      │
            │ Save setup as dfl        │
            │ Save setup as..          │
            │ Exit                     │
            │ Exit from Minicom        │
            └──────────────────────────┘

so then select 'Serial port setup' and make sure to set it as: 9600,8N1

the minicom -s answer does not work, it says the same thing.

minicom: WARNING: configuration file not found, using defaults
