View source for Hacking the GNURadio Module 'gr-satnogs'

A few steps on starting with hacking on 'gr-satnogs' on a SatNOGS node:

Ensure you have these packages installed:

 - python-dev
 - swig

 $ sudo apt install swig python-dev

Remove the package that has been installed by ansible (if you're using ansible):

 $ dpkg -r gr-satnogs


Get the repo from git:

 $ git clone git@gitlab.com:librespacefoundation/satnogs/gr-satnogs.git

Follow the instructions in 'README.md', in short:

 $ mkdir build
 $ cd build
 $ cmake ../
 $ make [-j4] # -j4 to speedup things ;-)
 $ sudo make install
 $ sudo ldconfig

See if everything worked:

 $ $ python -c "import satnogs"

If no output appears your custom 'gr-satnogs' module has been built and can be used by satnogs-client.
If it failed, a message like:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
 ImportError: No module named satnogs

will appear.
On the next observation check

 $ journalctl -u satnogs-client.service

for errors!

Happy hacking!
