After unpacking the static archive you can simply start the MCS from the bin/ subdirectory. However in order to connect to a Spectran USB device you need to have permissions on the relevant USB device file, which by default is not the case. To fix this please copy the extra/99-aaronia-spectran.rules file into the /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory (requires superuser priviledges) and reconnect the device.
