Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] names to use for ubuntu package manager to get install GNURadio

[Michael Dickens]

Hi geraldfenkell -

On modern Ubuntu, you should be able to just issue "sudo apt install gnuradio" and after some ado GNU Radio will be installed. See also < https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGR#Linux >.

The HackRF software interface should be pretty easily installable on Ubuntu (or any other UNIX-y system), and then you can use a GR out-of-tree (OOT) such as "gr-osmosdr" to get a GR interface to your HackRF One.

Hope this is useful & good luck! - MLD

I have successfully installed GNURadio on my Windows 10 machine and also have a live usb thumb drive for two 

versions of ubuntu (18.04.2 and 19.04).  I now wish to use the package manager for these ubuntu systems to apt get install

GNURadio and companion.  I do not know the names to use for the package nor how to find them out.

 

Help would be appreciated.

 

Please note that after I do that, I want to install (from his git repository) the Michael Ossmann add on

for GNURadio to use HackRF One with GNURadio to follow his course.  I have not had any success with

getting a working version of Pentoo Linux to a Live USB Drive and/or getting Live SDR of GNURadio (which

does contain the necessary blocks) but says in its wikipedea that it is "retired". i.e. not available. I presume

that I will run into some problems  with dependencies (but will gain experience) when I try to "compile" the

material from his Git repository.  

 

Thank you
