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 &quot;gnuradio-opt-git&quot; package from AUR. This package will install GNURadio to &quot;/opt&quot; 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:

Installing GNU Radio from AUR
If you don't use yaourt/pacaur or something of the likes do the following:

Go to http://aur.archlinux.org and search for the package &quot;gnuradio-git&quot;.

Download the tarball (gnuradio-git.tar.gz) on the packages page.

$ tar zxf gnuradio-git.tar.gz $ cd gnuradio-git $ makepkg This should build, and leave you with a file like gnuradio-git-20111025-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz which you can install via

$ sudo pacman -U gnuradio-git-20111025-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz In case you run into trouble building GNU radio using AUR leave a message on the AUR page.
