SoapySDR dependencies are automatically installed.

brew install xoolive/homebrew/jet1090

brew upgrade

Dependencies

The prebuilt binaries are compiled with all features activated. In particular, support for RTL-SDR is provided through SoapySDR which may require extra dependencies.

sudo apt install libsoapysdr-dev soapysdr-module-rtlsdr

sudo pacman -S soapyrtlsdr

Dependencies are automatically installed if you install jet1090 through Homebrew. You have to run the command to build the project from source.

brew install soapysdr soapyrtlsdr
  • Install PothosSDR. If you don't have admin rights, you may unzip the archive and add the bin/ folder to your PATH variable.
  • You will also need Zadig to install the drivers for your RTL-SDR dongle (admin rights necessary).

Build from source

You will need:

  • the SoapySDR dependencies to compile with the rtlsdr feature.
  • a protobuf compiler to compile with the sero feature.
cargo install --all-features jet1090

Note that a protobuf compiler is also necessary to compile the project with the sero feature:

sudo apt install protobuf-compiler

brew install protobuf

Nix takes care of its own dependencies. The script has been tested for Linux and MacOS.

git clone https://github.com/xoolive/jet1090
nix profile install
