"CAN bus support is not enabled in this build of VESC Tool"

Has anybody figured out a solution to this message whenever attempting to talk to a VESC via CAN bus? I am working with a VESC 75/300 and can use vesc-tool 6.02 via USB but my vehicle implementation calls for only CAN bus control. I am running two-wire CAN to a DB9 which is connected to a PEAK CAN-to-USB converter connected to my laptop. Using PCAN-View I can see the data dumping from my VESC meaning that I am able to stream data from the VESC but vesc-tool is not able to talk via CAN bus.
