You will need the following development libraries installed: Qt (version 5), FFTW, Hamlib, and PortAudio. Other various development packages include g++, Git, and pkg-config.

1. Clone the git repository to your local machine:

    git clone git://github.com/n4ogw/so2sdr.git

or download one of the source code distributions and extract it:

    tar xzvof so2sdr-2.5.0.tgz

2. By default, so2sdr will be installed in /usr/local/bin, and associated data files will be placed in /usr/local/share/so2sdr. If you want to change the location of the program, edit SO2SDR_INSTALL_DIR in common.pri

3. qmake

4. make

(make -jx will use x cores and go faster)

N.B. Subdirectory Makefiles will be created from the top level Makefile.

5. (as superuser) make install

6. Test and contribute!

Additional help is available in the file share/so2sdrhelp.html or via the Help menu in the program.
