GNU Radio+UHD Installation (Linux)

These binaries include the latest bugfixes. They are generated every weekend and support the following platforms:

  • Ubuntu 10.04-11.10
  • Fedora 15-16

NOTE: Our binaries and installer repositories are only generated for officially supported Ubuntu and Fedora versions.

NOTE: Our GNU Radio binaries depend on our UHD binaries, so all instructions involve installation of both.

Install with Apt/Yum

Binaries generated from UHD's unstable and bugfix branches can also be installed using our Ubuntu and Fedora repositories. If you want your UHD install to update every week, follow the instructions below:

Ubuntu

  • Master/Unstable
    • Copy and paste these commands into your terminal. This will install GNU Radio+UHD as well as place our repository into the list of sources Ubuntu uses to check for package updates.

sudo bash -c 'echo "deb http://files.ettus.com/binaries/uhd_unstable/repo/gnuradio/ubuntu/`lsb_release -cs` `lsb_release -cs` main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ettus.list'
