Problem with installation in raspberry pi desktop

FlightAware General
1

Hello guys
I’m trying to install flightaware from an old Dell Latitude D430 PC and Rasberri Pi Desktop but I can’t get it to work. I can’t even get dump1090 to work. It seems to be a cross-architecture issue but I can’t figure out the correct way to install. Has anyone managed to do this? Thanks in advance.

What are outputs of following commands?

uname -m

dpkg --print-architecture

dpkg --print-foreign-architectures

$ uname -m
x86_64

$ dpkg --print-architecture
i386

$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
amd64

As Flightaware does not supply i386 or amd64 packages of piaware and dump1090-fa, you cannot install these the way you install these on RPi from Flightaware repository.

However you can build these packages on your machine from their source code provided by Flightaware.

Alternative-1: (Recommended)
This method takes long time but gives perfect fit to your computer & OS

Use scripts to automatically build an install these packages. These scripts are available at my following site:

Alternatiive-2:
This method is faster

Check the name of your OS by following command

lsb_release -a

If output of above command shows Debian 11 bullseye, then you can install pre-built i386 packages of piaware and dump1090-fa from my following site:

NOTE:
(1) This site provides both 1386 and amd64 packages for debian-11 bullseys.
(2) It automatically detects architecture of your computer (i386 or amd64) and installs packages matching your computer’s architecture.

Hi abcd567
Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I managed to get it working a while ago with just the FR24 client and ADSB Exchange but I don’t remember exactly how as I had to try many installations. I’m going to check out your links and get to work.
Thanks again

Great!
Which decoder did you install to provide data to FR24 and Adsbexchange feeders?

Previously yes but now I don’t remember where I find the manual to make it work with FR24

No oroblem, I was just curious.

For your reference, below is link to a page which tells how to install FR24 and required decoder (dump1090-mutability OR dump1090-fa) on amd64 and i386 computers.
