Apple Silicon M1 tips

Installing using Homebrew on M1

(Still need to check all this is right) Dependencies via brew:

• brew install coreutils [email protected] librtlsdr

I highly recommend making a venv to run auto_rx within, e.g:

$ cd radiosonde_auto_rx/auto_rx/
$ python3 -v venv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

You should then be able to build the demods with ./build.sh

Other notes:

• On OSX 10.12 Monterey, port 5000 appears to be in use already! You will need to adjust the web_port setting in station.cfg.
