Setup:Gnuradio Linux - 2020-UQ-Communication-Systems/public GitHub Wiki

You can install GnuRadio via either

1. the system packages
2. the build-gnuradio script - from SBRAC

Option 2 gives you a more complete version of GnuRadio - but it takes quite a significant time to build it.

Steps to get it working:

• Get and build the packages $ wget http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio && chmod a+x ./build-gnuradio && ./build-gnuradio
• export PYTHONPATH to the installation location: export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib64/python2.7/site-packages or export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (for 64-bit and 32-bit systems respectively).

Some reasons to get it is that it automatically includes:

• gr-baz
• gr-iqbal
• rtlsdr / osmosdr

You can start gnuradio-companion, which is the graphical front-end to flow chart generation. In the companion you generate python "glue" to connect modules together. Most basic communication systems can be built completely inside this system.
