How to Install dump1090-fa on openSUSE x86_64
This method has been tested on openSUSE 15.1 - Leap
(1) Install build tools
sudo zypper install git-core gcc-c++ make cmake
(2) Build & Install rtl-sdr from source code.
NOTE: The rtl-sdr package is available in openSUSE repository, but has something missing. As a result dump1090-fa fails to build. We will therefore build & install rtl-sdr package from source-code.
## Install dependency
sudo zypper install libusb-devel
## Clone source code, build & install rtl-sdr
cd ~/
git clone git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git
cd rtl-sdr
sudo mkdir build && cd build
sudo cmake ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON -DDETACH_KERNEL_DRIVER=ON
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
(3) Build dump1090-fa linux binary from source code.
## Install dependency
sudo zypper install ncurses-devel
## Clone source code, and build dump1090-fa's Linux Binary
cd ~/
sudo git clone https://github.com/flightaware/dump1090.git dump1090-fa
cd dump1090-fa
sudo make BLADERF=no
(4) Test the binary (dongle must be plugged into the computer)
NOTE: Press Ctrl and c keys together to break the continous flow of output.

(5) Configure & enable systemd for dump1090-fa by copying necessary files from cloned source code.
sudo cp ~/dump1090-fa/dump1090 /usr/bin/dump1090-fa
sudo cp ~/dump1090-fa/debian/dump1090-fa.default /etc/default/dump1090-fa
sudo cp ~/dump1090-fa/debian/dump1090-fa.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/dump1090-fa.service
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/dump1090-fa/
sudo cp ~/dump1090-fa/debian/start-dump1090-fa /usr/share/dump1090-fa/start-dump1090-fa
sudo cp -r ~/dump1090-fa/public_html /usr/share/dump1090-fa/html
## Create user "dump1090" to run systemd service
## Create group "plugdev" and add usder "dump1090" to this group
sudo useradd --system dump1090
sudo groupadd plugdev
sudo usermod -a -G plugdev dump1090
sudo systemctl enable dump1090-fa
sudo reboot
sudo systemctl status dump1090-fa
(6) Install & Configure lighttpd web server
sudo zypper install lighttpd
sudo systemctl enable lighttpd
sudo systemctl start lighttpd
sudo systemctl status lighttpd
sudo chmod 777 /etc/lighttpd
sudo cp ~/dump1090-fa/debian/lighttpd/89-dump1090-fa.conf /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/89-dump1090-fa.conf
echo "server.modules += ( \"mod_alias\" )" >> /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
echo "include \"/etc/lighttpd/conf.d/89-dump1090-fa.conf\"" >> /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
sudo sed -i 's/server.use-ipv6 = "enable"/server.use-ipv6 = "disable"/' /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
sudo chmod 755 /etc/lighttpd
sudo systemctl restart lighttpd
(7) Configure Firewall to permit display of SkyView from LAN/internet
sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=http
sudo firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Map dispaly in browser of openSUSE at “localhost/dump1090-fa/”
Map display in browser of another computer on same LAN at “IP-of-openSUSE/dump1090-fa/”
UPDATE: Current version openSUSE Tumbleweed :2022 08 28
(1) INSTALL, ENABLE, AND START SSH
sudo zypper install openssh
sudo systemctl enable sshd
sudo systemctl start sshd
(2) OPEN PORT 22 (FOR SSH) IN FIREWALL
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=22/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
(3) ADD FIREWALL RULE (HTTPS/443 and HTTP/80):
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=http --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=https --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
## Verify it:
sudo firewall-cmd --list-services
sudo firewall-cmd --list-services --permanent
(4) INSTALL BUILD TOOLS & DEPENDENCIES
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install -y git make gcc binutils glibc
sudo zypper install -y fakeroot pkgconf ncurses-devel ncurses
sudo zypper install -y rtl-sdr libusb-1_0-0 libusb-compat-devel
sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:virtuallyNick:piaware/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:virtuallyNick:piaware.repo
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install librtlsdr-devel
## After installing librtlsdr-devel package, remove above repository
## as it has dump1090-mutability ver 1.15, dump1090-fa ver 3.8.1, and
## piaware ver 3.8.1, and you may by mistake install these old packages.
sudo zypper removerepo home_virtuallyNick_piaware
