ORANGE PI - FIRST STEPS
STEP-1
Choose, download, and burn on your microSD card an Operating Sytem img according to instructions on this page:
“Linux Distributions for Orange PI H3 boards by loboris”.
Once your operating sytem is booted, login as user “root” or “orangepi”. Both these user have password “orangepi”.
After log-in, execute following commands:
#expand file system
root@OrangePI:~# sudo fs_resize
#create a user "pi". This helps when scripts are hard-coded to path /home/pi
#you will be asked to assign a password to newly created user "pi"
root@OrangePI:~# sudo adduser pi
#give user "pi" sudo powers by including it in sudoers group
root@OrangePI:~# sudo adduser pi sudo
root@OrangePI:~# sudo reboot
At reboot, login as user “pi” using password you have assigned to user “pi”.
After login, execute following commands to install some basic packages which loboris distros lack:
pi@OrangePI:~# sudo apt-get update
pi@OrangePI:~# sudo apt-get upgrade
pi@OrangePI:~# sudo apt-get install ca-certificates
pi@OrangePI:~# sudo apt-get install git
pi@OrangePI:~# sudo apt-get install build-essential
pi@OrangePI:~# sudo apt-get install cron
STEP-2
Next step is installation of dump1090-mutability, which can be installed manually by the method by mgunther (Click Here), or by jprochazka’s automated script (Click Here)
STEP-3
Next Step is installation of data feeders piaware & planefinder which can be done from respective sites manually, or by using jprochazka’s automated script. Since the piaware automated install bug has not been fixed yet, I will recommend manual install of piaware till such time the bug in jprochazka’s automated script is fixed.
