Software
Start by installing stuff that you need:
apt-get install -y \ libboost-all-dev \ libusb-1.0 \ libusb-dev \ libusb-1.0-0-dev \ devscripts \ cmake \ portaudio19-dev \ iproute \ python-virtualenv apt-get install -y \ tcl8.5-dev \ tclx8.4-dev \ itcl3-dev \ tcl-tls \ tcllib \ tcl-tclreadline \
Next, install rtl-sdr package from osmocom. We will also need to disable the DVB driver, not using this for TV.
git clone git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git /root/codes/rtl-sdr cd /root/codes/rtl-sdr mkdir build cd build cmake ../ make make install cd /root cp /root/codes/rtl-sdr/rtl-sdr.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/. ldconfig # Now disable the DVB driver, since we are not watching TV mkdir -p /etc/modprobe.d/ cd /etc/modprobe.d/ echo "blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu" >> /etc/modprobe.d/ban-rtl.conf
Before moving on to the next step, need to restart.
WARNING: DUBIOUS, MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS
Next, install software specifically for dump1090. Once you're finished, you should be able to see some flight info:
DUMP1090_PATH="/root/codes/dump1090"
git clone https://www.github.com/flightaware/dump1090 ${DUMP1090_PATH}
cd ${DUMP1090_PATH}
make BLADERF=no
echo "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
echo "~~~ OK BRO HERE GOES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
echo "~~~ HOPE U SEE SOME PLANE STUFF RN ~~~~~~~~"
echo "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
${DUMP1090_PATH}/dump1090 --interactive
Finally, install the tcllauncher for flightaware:
#!/bin/sh
#
# pastebin.com/eKbm118F
#
# tinyurl.com/y7lghzs4
#
# The FlightAware should now be working.
# This script will install PiAware
# so you have a fancy-pants dashboard.
echo "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
echo "~~~ INSTALL FLIGHTAWARE TCLLAUNCHER ~~~~~~~"
echo "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
export FA_DIR="/root/codes/tcllauncher"
git clone https://github.com/flightaware/tcllauncher.git ${FA_DIR}
cd ${FA_DIR}
autoconf
./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.5
make
make install
echo "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
echo "~~~ INSTALL PIAWARE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
echo "~~~ (IF N.E.1 AXES, UR RUNNIN WHEEZY) ~~~~~"
echo "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
export PIAWARE_DIR="/root/codes/piaware_builder"
git clone https://github.com/flightaware/piaware_builder.git ${PIAWARE_DIR}
cd ${PIAWARE_DIR}
./sensible-build.sh wheezy
make
make install
sudo update-rc.d piaware defaults
echo "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
echo "~~~ NOW SET UR FLIGHTAWARE CREDS ~~~~~~~~~~"
echo "~~~ service piaware start ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
echo "~~~ piaware-config -user USERNAME -password"
echo "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
Troubleshooting
Checking Status: Method 1
To check on the status of piaware, and assuming it was installed using the piaware_builder repository (i.e., that you built a debian package and installed it using dpkg), which also creates a startup service, you can use systemctl to check on the status of the startup service:
# systemctl status piaware
● piaware.service - FlightAware ADS-B uploader
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/piaware.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Fri 2017-08-18 04:22:31 PDT; 10h ago

Checking Status: Method 2
To check the status of piaware, you can also use the status.json file:
# cat /run/piaware/status.json
{
"piaware" : {
"status" : "green",

},
"expiry" : 1503094220448,
"interval" : 5000,
"mlat" : {
"status" : "red",
"message" : "Multilateration is not enabled"

"adept" : {
"status" : "green",
"message" : "Connected to FlightAware and logged in"
},
"radio" : {
"status" : "red",
"message" : "Not connected to receiver"
},
"time" : 1503094209448
