ArchInstall

Installing on Arch Linux
GNURadio can be installed easily from the official Arch repository using pacman.

sudo pacman -S gnuradio gnuradio-companion There are many additional packages like gr-osmosdr that brings extra hardware support in GNURadio.

sudo pacman -S gnuradio-osmosdr gnuradio-iqbal gnuradio-fcdproplus

QT Support
The official package doesn't have qtgui features enabled by default (will be enabled in future). GNURadio with QT support can be installed using "gnuradio-opt-git package from AUR. This package will install GNURadio to "/opt" and can be used in parallel with other GNURadio installations.

If you have never built &amp; installed an AUR package before, the AUR wiki page gives excellent instructions:
