@OldDxer:
The current version of J Prochazka’s script successfully installs dump1090-fa on Ubuntu 16.04 x86/amd64. However the script installs older version 3.5.1 of dump1090-fa. However it installs latest version 3.5.3 of Piaware data feeder add-on.
The reason is the script clones Github’s master branch of dump1090, which is version 3.5.1. The version 3.5.3 is available in dev branch.
I therefore used manual method to build and install dump1090-fa from dev branch. The step-by-step method is given below the screenshot.
.
STEP-BY-STEP METHOD TO MANUALLY INSTALL VER 3.5.3 (DEV BRANCH)
.
(1) Update system and install git
cd ~
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
(2) Build and install bladeRF
#install dependencies for bladeRF
sudo apt-get install cmake doxygen libtecla-dev help2man pandoc
sudo mkdir build
cd build
sudo git clone https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF.git
cd bladeRF
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b
cd ../
sudo dpkg --install libbladerf1_*.deb
sudo dpkg --install libbladerf-dev_*.deb
sudo dpkg --install libbladerf-udev_*.deb
.
(3) Build and install dump1090-fa
#install dependencies for dump1090-fa
sudo apt-get install librtlsdr-dev debhelper dh-systemd libncurses5-dev lighttpd
#clone dump1090
sudo git clone https://github.com/flightaware/dump1090.git
#set git repository to dev branch
cd dump1090
sudo git fetch --all
sudo git reset --hard origin/dev
#build installation package
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b
#install dump1090
cd ../
sudo dpkg --install dump1090-fa_*_amd64.deb
sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd force-reload
sudo reboot
.
(4) Set your location, and display site circles on SkyView map:
sudo nano /etc/default/dump1090-fa
#scroll down to following line
DECODER_OPTIONS="--max-range 360"
#add your latitude and longitude as shown below.
#replace xx.xxxx and yy.yyyy by your actual latitude and longitude
DECODER_OPTIONS="--lat xx.xxxx --lon yy.yyyy --max-range 360"
#save file (Ctrl+o) close file (Ctrl+x)
#restart dump1090-fa
sudo systemctl restart dump1090-fa
Reload your browser. If Station Marker and Site Circles do not show, clear browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+Delete) and then hard reload the browser (Ctrl+F5).
That is all. Enjoy…
