Manual installation of the SatNOGS Station Software is a tedious & brittle process, not recommended for SatNOGS Stations. Please consider running your SatNOGS Station on Debian or Raspbian and follow the SatNOGS Client Ansible guide for installing the SatNOGS Client

Introduction

Here you will find instructions on installing SatNOGS manually on a generic Linux distribution. It is highly recommended to run SatNOGS stations on a Debian or Raspbian host system so that SatNOGS_Client_Ansible can be used for setup. All other Linux distributions require the manual installation of all needed programs.

Packages needed

Please check the README of each of those projects for their dependencies and installation procedure.
