Is there any documentation on how to install Redhawk on a Ubuntu 20.04 operating System?

You can find a script for installing Redhawk on Ubuntu on this link: https://github.com/Geontech/redhawk-ubuntu. It's dated (Ubuntu 16.04) but it should provide insight into installation onto 20.04

Hello Max, Thanks for the input. So, I am installing version 2.2.8 of Redhawk. Do I use this script with the source code download of this version of Redhawk? redhawk-src-2.2.8.tar.gzhttps://github.com/RedhawkSDR/redhawk/releases/download/2.2.8/redhawk-src-2.2.8.tar.gz

Sincerely,

Malcon

Hello back to you! The script pulls from the github master branch (line 160), so it should try to build 2.2.8.

Hello Max. I was able to create the script and start it. It gets al the way to python install and fails. I already have python3 installed on my system. Just trying to figure out how to comment out this section so the rest of the build will continue. Any suggestions are appreciated.

RH 2.2.8 uses Python 2. Python 3 is supported in RH 3. For this version, make sure that you have Python 2.7 installed.

Trying to remove python3 but is comes embedded with the ubuntu desktop and firefox. Can I have both versions of Python installed?

Also, even after I do remove python3 the script still tries to use python3. the script actually fails to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/axios/redhawk/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP:xx.xxx.xx.xx:80] E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead .build.sh: /usr/local/bin/pip: /usr/bin/python3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Even though i no longer have python3 installed or any residue of it. It still can't find python2.7. I have installed it but the script says that is is missing event when I type which python it show the /usr/bin/python and when I run that command it says it version 2.7.18. Also now its saying: E: Unable to locate package pyqt4-dev-tools
