Hi there,
I’m looking to add FlightRadar24 to my PiAware 5.0 install.
does anyone have an upto date guide in how to do this?
Is in just a matter of installing the scripts via this command or is in incompatible?
sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://repo-feed.flightradar24.com/install_fr24_rpi.sh)"
TIA
Yes, it is just running that script.
After installation is done, the script starts configuration and signup. You will have to provide your email, feeder key (if you already have one) etc. It will then ask receiver type and list many types.
Do NOT choose “1 - DVB-T”.
Choose “4. Beast tcp”.
Thanks. Installed successfully though it did not ask me for any device type.
pi@piaware:~ $ edited out downloads etc.

This is great. Seems they have modified their installation script to detect presence of dump1090 and skip the receiver type choice.
This is badly needed improvement. Earlier people were making a natural choice of receiver “1 - DVB-T”, which installed dump1090-mutability, and having two versions of dump1090 (fa and mutability) created a mess.
