I can't find a solution to install this.

My apologies... I had updated the instructions in my own notes to omit bluez-utils as that was for an older version of debian, but hadn't updated that on the forum as my account was still in limbo. bluez-utils is no longer available, nor needed, as bluetoothctl is in the main bluez package.

But, when I run the sudo screen /dev/rfcomm0 9600, it gave me this message
"[screen is terminating]"

So I take it you've run all the way through to the end, have paired and connected to your device, but screen won't connect to it? For starters, is the baud rate correct? What sort of device are you trying to connect to?
