Even for local viewing i would recommend using the piaware image if you are a beginner:
Here is how to do that with the RPi
PiAware - build your own ADS-B ground station for integration with FlightAware - FlightAware
You can build logging on top of that and view the local map.
What kind of data do you want to log and what do you want to do with the data?
If you just want an overview of the volume of traffic, these graphs are easy to install:
GitHub - wiedehopf/graphs1090: Graphs for readsb / dump1090-fa / dump1090 (based on dump1090-tools by mutability)
Maybe you want something like this:
Daily Log/E-Mail Aircraft Report directly on your RaspberryPi
It’s a little harder to set up.
But there has been interest in it anyway, i might make the setup easier.
(No bribes please 
i do this for fun not money so it might take a week or two)
