Satnogs-client installation

SatNOGS Software
1

I’m trying to install satnogs-client on my ubuntu 16. I followed the instruction in the satnogs Documentation, but i had a problem with setting up mkvirtualenv

1- git clone https://gitlab.com/liberspacefoundation/satnogs/satnogs-client.git

2- mkvirtualenv satnogs-client -a
(when i excute the above command i get an error “Cannot associate project with , it is not a directory”

help ?

this phase worked with me. Precisely, I think it was:
git clone https://gitlab.com/liberspacefoundation/satnogs/satnogs-client.git
cd satnogs-client
mkvirtualenv satnogs-client -a .
with a point at the end (probably the above mentioned missing directory)

Hi,

I have a problem during installation.

I followed this instruction: SatNOGS Client Ansible - SatNOGS Wiki

When I ran this ansible-playbook -i production/inventory/hosts -K site.yml
I got this error:

BECOME password:
[WARNING]: Invalid characters were found in group names but not replaced, use -vvvv to see details

Hi,

I have run into your same problem. I am on Debian11 run inside VMware (since I don’t have a raspberry pi)

For now use Debian buster. (Debian old stable)
I have two systems running on that release and used the satnogs wiki for installation.

cat /etc/os-release

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

Gotcha, thanks for the prompt reply!

I managed to get it working installing everything manually in the end even though, although it was a bit painful. I’ll try buster if anything goes wrong

I know it is possible, but you need to have some Linux experience, have a look at this install log that I created when installing and configuring a SatNOGS client running on Ubuntu server.

Ubuntu install log

This manual install can also be used on other Linux apt distribution.

I did a new Debian installation and shared the information on the following page:

https://www.pe0sat.vgnet.nl/satellite/satnogs/debian/

This should help you in getting an up and running SatNOGS client on Debian.
