h1. Manual compilation and installation 

 Currently manual method of installation is considered to be the easiest way to get newest version of *gr-gsm* up and running. The *gr-gsm* repository contains automatic tests of manual installation in form of "dockerfiles":https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/tree/development/tests/dockerfiles [dockerfiles](https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/tree/development/tests/dockerfiles) that are built and executed by "Travis CI":https://travis-ci.org/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/builds [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/builds) continuous integration service. Travis CI informs if particular revision of *gr-gsm* builds and passes tests on a set of GNU/Linux distributions. History of the results can be checked on "the [the *gr-gsm*'s Travis CI page":https://travis-ci.org/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/builds. page](https://travis-ci.org/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/builds). 

 The instructions presented here are a version of dockerfiles:https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/tree/development/tests/dockerfiles [dockerfiles](https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/tree/development/tests/dockerfiles) with stripped instructions specific to docker and without running unit tests. This wiki might at some moment be behind installation procedures contained in the dockerfiles:https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/tree/development/tests/dockerfiles [dockerfiles](https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/tree/development/tests/dockerfiles) so in case of installation problems it is a good idea to look in there. 

 h2. Debbian-based distributions (Debian Testing, Ubuntu >=16.04, Kali Rolling Edition)  

 First install all needed prerequisites with following command: 

 <pre> 
 apt-get update && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y \ 
     cmake \ 
     autoconf \ 
     libtool \ 
     pkg-config \ 
     build-essential \ 
     python-docutils \ 
     libcppunit-dev \ 
     swig \ 
     doxygen \ 
     liblog4cpp5-dev \ 
     python-scipy \ 
     gnuradio-dev \ 
     gr-osmosdr \ 
     libosmocore-dev 
 </pre> 

 Currently on Debian Testing and Kali Rolling execution of following command is needed: 
 <pre> sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvolk.so.1.3.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvolk.so.1.3 </pre> 
 It is a workaround due to an "issue":https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/pull/378#issuecomment-379587145 [issue](https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/pull/378#issuecomment-379587145) with faulty libvolk installation on these systems at the moment. 

 Then download the *gr-gsm*'s source and build it with following commands: 
 <pre> 
 git clone https://git.osmocom.org/gr-gsm 
 
  cd gr-gsm 
 
  mkdir build 
 
  cd build 
 
  cmake .. 
 
  mkdir $HOME/.grc_gnuradio/ $HOME/.gnuradio/ 
 
  make 
 
  sudo make install 
 
  sudo ldconfig 
 </pre> 

 To speedup compilation instead of "make" you can use parallel build <pre>make -j $nproc</pre> where "$nproc" is number of CPU cores. cores 
 The "mkdir $HOME/.grc_gnuradio/ $HOME/.gnuradio/" line is there because without it parallel build sometimes fails.
