Hope you had a smooth installation setup for LimeSDR. Now, we will see how to setup gnuradio, gr-limesdr and gqrx. For those, who haven’t checked how to setup LimeSDR, here is PART-1.

Let’s proceed further.

• STEP-4 : Installing GNURadio

sudo apt install gnuradio gnuradio-dev

This will install the latest gnuadio which is gnuradio-3.8.1. **You must know that Ubuntu-20.04 deprecated gnuradio-3.7. **So performing the above command will install gnuradio-3.8.

This gnuradio doesn’t come with gr-limesdr. Which is basically LimeSDR sources for GNURadio.

sudo apt install gr-limesdr

gnuradio-companion

After opening gnuradio companion, search for lime in the blocks search field, basically Ctrl+f. Now, you can Plug and Play with the Lime Rx, Tx.
