Install qdmr

Install qdmr under Ubuntu and Debian

Under Debian/Ubuntu Linux, you can install qdmr directly from the official package sources. Simply run

  sudo apt-get install qdmr

Please note that there is also a command-line tool called dmrconf. This tool allows you to up- and download codeplugs from the command line. To install dmrconf run

  sudo apt-get install dmrconf

Install qdmr under OpenSuSE Tumbleweed

There are binary packages for qdmr provided for OpenSuSE Tumbleweed in the hardware:sdr repository. To add that repository to your packages sources run

    sudo zypper ar obs://hardware:sdr hardware:sdr

after that, you can install qdmr simply by running

    sudo zypper install qdmr

You will also receive updates this way.

Install qdmr under Gentoo Linux

Gentoo users need no help: you find qdmr as net-wireless/qdmr. However, if you build your own kernel, make sure to enable USB Modem (CDC ACM). Otherwise you may not be able to access the radios.

Install qdmr under Arch Linux

qdmr is already part of this distribution. So you only need to run

    sudo pacman -S qdmr

Install qdmr under MacOS

The preferred way to install qdmr under MacOS is to use (MacPorts)[https://macports.org]. MacPorts is a software package manager for MacOS. This not only allows to distribute software for different MacOS versions but also to receive updates semi-automatically. After installing MacPorts, you can easily install qdmr with

    sudo port install qdmr

This will install both, the qdmr GUI application as well as the dmrconf command-line tool. MacPorts will also crate an App link in the Launcher.

Windows

There are no windows binaries for qdmr. Consider using the manufacturer CPS.

Build qdmr from sources

See (BUILD.md)[https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/blob/master/BUILD.md] file in the repository.

Gain access to USB/serial devices

The install step above or installing a binary package should also have installed a rule file that grants raw USB access to the radios. You may need to execute

    sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
    sudo udevadm trigger

to activate these new rules. However, your user needs to be a member of the dialout group. This membership is also needed to gain raw access to USB serial devices like the OpenGD77 or AnyTone devices.

To this end, first check if your user is a member of the dialout group with

    groups

If dialout is not listed there, run

    sudo adduser YOUR_USER dialout

This should grant your user raw access to the serial and USB interfaces to the radios.
