> I’m actually running Ubuntu now. I’ve had FA running before and actually installed the package from [adsbreceiver.net](https://www.adsbreceiver.net), however, I have some reservations about running it. At one time last year I stumbled upon installing FA on the machine and actually had great success with it vs running on Pi2. Something happened at one point and the hard drive crashed. Now back to square 1 and trying to get everything back to running again with the same results I was having before. I’m not a Linux genius by any means, but I can follow instructions on how to install the package. **When it comes to talking about forks and pulls it looses me. And the fact there are several versions of the dump1090, which one is the best bang for the buck so to speak**.

Do not go to [adsbreceiver.net](https://www.adsbreceiver.net).  
Follow the very easy and simple instructions here (installation by automated scripts):

[ads-b-flight-tracking-f21/ads-b-receiver-project-setup-scripts-t36532.html](https://discussions.flightaware.com/t/ads-b-receiver-project-setup-scripts/17807)

**A) dump1090**  
The automated script will give you choice for installing one of the following versions of dump1090 without bothering for “pull” or “fork”.

1. dump1090-fa  
OR
2. dump1090-mutability  
On one Pi, I have installed dump1090-fa, on other Pi I have installed dump1090-mutability. Both are good, but their User Interface on Map page are somewhat different.

**B) Data feeder**  
The automated script do not force you to install all 4 data feeders. You can choose none, or one or more, as you like.

**C) Performance Graphs (Web Portal)**  
This is also optional, and you can say NO if you dont want it, though majority installs it.
