Am I right in assuming that the .deb can be run from a terminal under sudo dpkg -i satnogs-monitor_0.2.0_armhf.deb?
There is a reason…I get an error relating to corrupted file / permissions.
What I am trying to do is run the monitor using yaft on a RPi zero on its own. libgpredict went ok as did yaft. I’m stuck with the error on trying to install the .deb after using wget to fetch it from https://github.com/wose/satnogs-monitor/releases/tag/0.2.0
Yaft seems to run ok and it worked after installing the xwindow version. I’m a bit lost and can only assume there is something missing somewhere. chmod and chown made it executable and permissions are 777.
Only thing left to do is try again with a fresh distro but didn’t want to do this is there what I wanted to do was wrong. Distro is stretch lite, I’ve not bothered with Buster…yet
Installing the debian armhf package will only work on the armhf architecture (so probably not on your laptop or desktop) but you’re trying on the RPi zero, so this should work.
I’m begining to think that it is to do with the distro and something not being right with that rather than the package as it worked with a desktop distro.
I’ve got it working on another RPi 3 so it’s no big deal but I would like to understand the problem for a long term project so I can use the zero rather than a RPi3
Hi not up to speed on all the tech stuff, any chance of a line by line tutorial of how to install this? I manage the basic satnogs install and update by following the steps on the main page
Does it go on the pi ? can it be installed on a windows machine? i can see the files in Git
Hub but not sure where to go next
cheers
The instructions are in git, but you’re correct, we probably need a wiki page to make it really clear. My suggestion would be to follow this link. Download the correct version, make it executable and install either from command line.
I have kick started the wiki thread. Feel free to extend it if you’ve encounter problems and solved them or have configuration snippets for different terminal emulators/fonts/…
Hi thanks for the quick responce
Download correct version to pi ? Or Windows laptop?
How do I know the right one ?
Make executable?
Do I ssh into pi or is this a card reader thing ?
Sorry these may be very simple questions the initial instal for satnogs I did line by line with odd syntax / typing problems
Please note that the satnogs-monitor is not part of the satnogs client installation and is a tool which uses the SatNOGS network API to display information of the ground stations within your terminal. Check the new wiki page from the previous post. If you want to use it you should familiarize yourself with installing and compiling software on a Debian based Linux system (the Raspberry Pi your ground station runs on). It won’t run on Windows (yet).
Thanks for the info have a pi 4 and zero on order. Am converting an old laptop to debian but have an old note 10 tablet I was looking to use for the terminal
Will have a play see how far I can get
Thanks for the info
I just installed on an Ubuntu 18.04 machine, and it works perfectly.
To be clear:
SatNogs-Monitor WILL run on any Linux machine with internet access - it DOES NOT have to be installed on your actual station computers. The only benefit to installing on the actual station computer is additional information will be displayed (I haven’t attempted this yet so not sure what the differences are).

[edit] I added this info to the description in the wiki. Also added “tab key” functionality in “running it”.
all goes well until step ) - make Install then i get
– Install configuration: “Release”
– Installing: /usr/local/lib/libgpredict.so
CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:42 (file):

Hi K3RLD
Im working down the page https://wiki.satnogs.org/SatNOGS_Monitor
i did the sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev cmake build-essential git
that works , and worked down the page till it errors at the build and install section
