click icon upper right to extract files to /home/pi

====================
Installation (Linux):
====================

open a Terminal window and run the following commands

sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev git cmake

cd pkg-rtl-sdr
rm build -r
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON

rtl_tcp -a 192.168.1.119 -p 1234 -D 2

====================
to connect from a Windows PC
====================

SDR Radio Console and SDRSharp tested and work fine.
Use the regular TCP setup.

What is here happend? Where have to be the File right now?
CMake Error: The current CMakeCache.txt directory /home/geeko/rtl-sdr/pkg-rtl-sdr/CMakeCache.txt is different than the directory /home/geeko/pkg-rtl-sdr where CMakeCache.txt was created. This may result in binaries being created in the wrong place.

if you havent gotten an answer yet. Here’s what worked for me.
do the following one line at a time……
cd pkg-rtl-sdr
cmake -G “Unix Makefiles”
make
make install

How is this driver installed on a raspberry pi? The normal cmake doesn’t seem to work.
