GNURadio can be installed on Windows, OS X and Linux Operating Systems. Linux is by far the easiest and is well supported. Installation on Windows is becoming more routine and installers are now available from Ettus Research. OS X installation is possible through MacPorts. All installations now include the GNURadio Companion (GRC). In addition, these installations also include drivers and firmware for the Ettus USRP line of radios, audio drivers and other software defined radios such as the BladeRF and RTL2832.


Linux Installation

Installation on the Linux platform is fairly straightforward. There are two methods to install GNURadio on Linux. The first method is to install via the distribution's package manager. Most popular distributions have GNURadio in their repositories. This allows for a fairly painless method to install GNURadio. However, be careful with this method as not all repos are updated with the latest version of GNURadio. Ubuntu, Fedora, and SUSE all have packages for GNURadio.

The preferred method is to use the install script that has been provided by Marcus Leech. This will install GNURadio, drivers and GNURadio Companion directly from the source code. It will also install any other software needed such as Python and other supporting software. This script will work on both Fedora and Ubuntu.

The link and additional information on installation through this method can be found here. GNURadio Wiki
