YES, because Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, which is in turn based on Debian.

STEP-1: First install Install dump1090-fa

Skip this step if you have already installed dump1090-mutability

Copy-paste following bash command into terminal of Linux Mint
NOTE: This command is a long single line command, but it may be displayed in two lines due to wrapping. Copy-paste entire command.

sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abcd567a/piaware-ubuntu-debian-amd64/master/install-dump1090-fa.sh)"

The above script builds dump1090-fa from source-code from Flightaware. It installs lot of build tools and dependency packages and takes considerable time. Please be patient.

After installation of dump1090-fa is completed, REBOOT the computer.

STEP-2: Next install piaware data feeder

Copy-paste following bash command into terminal of Linux Mint
NOTE: This command is a long single line command, but it may be displayed in two lines due to wrapping. Copy-paste entire command.

sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abcd567a/piaware-ubuntu-debian-amd64/master/install-piaware.sh)"

The above script builds piaware from source-code from Flightaware. It installs lot of build tools and dependency packages and takes considerable time. Please be patient.

STEP-3: Next install Performance Graphs by @wiedehopf

sudo bash -c "$(wget -q -O - https://github.com/wiedehopf/graphs1090/raw/master/install.sh)"

STEP-4: Next install fr24feed

First determine your Machine’s Architecture / OS by output of following command

uname -m

If output of above command shows your Machine / OS is i386, use OPTION (1) below.

If output of above command shows your Machine / OS is x86_64 OR amd64, use OPTION (2) below.

OPTION (1): If your Machine / OS is i386

wget https://repo-feed.flightradar24.com/linux_x86_binaries/fr24feed_1.0.25-3_i386.deb  

sudo dpkg -i fr24feed_1.0.25-3_i386.deb 

sudo fr24feed --signup

NOTE:
When running command “sudo fr24feed --signup”, after entering your details, you will see following message. Please say yes to autoconfig option

We have detected that you already have a dump1090 instance running. We can therefore automatically configure the FR24 feeder to use existing receiver configuration, or you can manually configure all the parameters.

Would you like to use autoconfig (yes/no)$: yes

sudo systemctl restart fr24feed 

sudo fr24feed-status 

# To check/modify configuration, edit this file 
sudo nano /etc/fr24feed.ini

OPTION (2): If your Machine / OS is x86_64 OR amd64

wget https://repo-feed.flightradar24.com/linux_x86_64_binaries/fr24feed_1.0.25-3_amd64.deb 

sudo dpkg -i fr24feed_1.0.25-3_amd64.deb 

sudo fr24feed --signup
