Web Portal Screenshots
Please note: As of February 2016, the scripts do not work when run on an SD card where the current PiAware image was installed. The scripts require a clean installation of a Debian derived operating system.
The ADS-B Receiver Project website is located at https://www.adsbreceiver.net.
Download the latest ADS-B Receiver Raspbian Stretch Lite image for Raspberry Pi devices. https://github.com/jprochazka/adsb-receiver/releases/latest
When setting up the portal you will have to choose between a lite or advanced installation. Advanced features adds flight logging and plotting and should only be chosen on devices running a more sturdy data storage solution.
It is recommended that anyone using a SD card as they storage medium not attempt to use the advanced features.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/jprochazka/adsb-receiver.git
cd ~/adsb-receiver
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
Your local repository will be updated each time install.sh is executed.
cd ~/adsb-receiver
./install.sh
This step pertains to both fresh installations as well as when updating an existing installation. After running the installation scripts you will need to setup the portal by visiting the following web address.

The scripts and packages have been tested on most Debian Jessie and Stretch based operating systems.
The scripts are NOT supported on existing PiAware image based installations. The PiAware image is still based on Raspbian Wheezey version which is missing some required libraries for dump1090-mutability installation.
