#install hardware support dependencies

sudo apt-get install libsoapysdr-dev libi2c-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev gnuplot

#install graphics dependencies

sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev freeglut3-dev

</pre>

h2. Install LimeSuite

<pre>

git clone https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuite.git

cd LimeSuite

mkdir builddir && cd builddir

cmake ../

make -j4
