Airplane tracking for Linux Penguins

We had shared articles on tracking airplanes with SDR on windows. Here is how you do it on Linux. We will be using Kali Linux in our example but you can do it on any other distribution as well. The number of dependencies required may vary from distribution to distribution.
.

How to?

1) Before we start with the actual script you might need a couple of dependencies which means you might have to do a couple of apt-gets:-  
apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

apt-get install libusb-dev

apt-get install librtlsdr-dev

2) After you are done you might need to get dump1090 from GitHub:-

git clone https://github.com/antirez/dump1090.git

3) Now you will have to cd into the folder and recompile the script:-

cd dump1090

make

4)Now to run it use the command:-

./dump1090 --interactive

Note:-

To explore more options you can the command ./dump1090 --help. The best thing is that the script is open source so you can modify it as per your desires.
