+Introduction
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This document is a step-by-step tutorial on how to install osmocom-analog on Ubuntu.
+It should work similar on Debian, Raspberry PI and similar distributions.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+All osmocom-analog networks can run on sound card connected to radio transmitters and receivers.
+This is quite heavy to handle and finding a usable transmitter and receiver - and this for each network and channel.
+I highly suggest to use SDR.
+In this tutorial I use LimeSDR (or LimeSDR Mini) to make things as easy as possible.
+</p>
+
+<p class="toppic">
+<a name="ins_vm"></a>
+Installing in a Virtual Machine
+</p>
+
+<center><img src="install_vm.png"/></center>
+
+<p>
+I do not recommend to use a virtual machine, especially for running C-Netz, which does not work, if there is a slight buffer underrun or overrun.
+It might work with other networks.
+You may try it out.
+Skip this, if you want to install osmocom-analog on a real machine.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Download VirtualBox from <h href="https://www.virtualbox.org/">https://www.virtualbox.org</a>.
+Follow the installation guide there for your OS.
+Be sure to install the extension package, so that you can use USB2.0 / USB3.0 which you need to pass through LimeSDR or LimeSDR Mini.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Create a virtual machine with the following settings:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Create a virtual machine with Ubuntu (64-bit)
+ <li>Choose memory size of at least 2 GB
+ <li>Create a virtual hard drive with at least 10 GB
+ <li>Emulate sound with output and input
+ <li>Select USB 3.0 (xHCI) Controller
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Your machine should now be able to boot and ask for an installation medium.
+Choose the Ubuntu installation ISO as optical drive image.
+</p>
+
+<p class="toppic">

+Installing Ubuntu
+</p>
+
+<center><img src="install_ubuntu.png"/></center>
+
+<p>
+Download Ubuntu from <a href="https://ubuntu.com/">https://ubuntu.com</a>.
+You may choose to install the desktop or server version.
+In this tutorial I will install the desktop version, because it is much easier.
+Burn this ISO image onto a CD or create a bootable USB stick.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Start your machine and Ubuntu should load from installation image.
+The installer will automatically start.
+In this tutorial I select <b>"Install Ubuntu"</b> and do a <b>"Minimal installation"</b>.
+In case you install it on a virtual machine, select <b>"Erase disk and install Ubuntu"</b>.
+Please refer to the Ubuntu installation guide for more details.

+Installing Libraries
+</p>
+
+<p>
+osmocom-analog has very little dependencies on libraries.
+No all are required, but you need to install libraries, depending on what you want to do.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Hint: Press "L-CTRL + L-ALT + T" to open a terminal.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you want to connect analog radio equipment or just a headset to talk through the base station with the mobile use, you need Alsa Sound support.
+If you don't have Alsa support, the mobile user will only hear a test music when calling.
+Also if you want to bridge calls or use Osmo-CC interface, you do not need sound support.
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+
+# sudo apt install libasound2-dev
+
+
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+If you want to use SDR support, you need to install SoapySDR library and tools.
+It is also possible to use UHD devices, but this is beyond the scope of this document.
+To make things easy, I use LimeSDR or LimeSDR Mini.
+Ubuntu also installs all drivers for SoapySDR, including "lime".
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+
+# sudo apt install libsoapysdr-dev
+# sudo apt install soapysdr-tools
+
+
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+If you want to emulate the software clone of "Datenklo", an analog modem, you need (beside sound support) Fuse, for emulating a serial device in user space.
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+
+# sudo apt install libfuse3-dev
+
+
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+If you want to generate a TV signal, you can read PPM images. If you want other images to be read, you need Imagemagick 7, which is (currently) not available for Ubuntu.
+Please refer to <a href="https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-imagemagick-7-on-ubuntu-18-04-linux">https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-imagemagick-7-on-ubuntu-18-04-linux</a> on how to install it manually.

+Installing osmocom-analog
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Use GIT to clone latest source repository. First you need to install GIT.
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+
+# sudo apt install git
+
+
+</pre>
+
<p>
-To run this software, you need a Linux PC with development environment (gcc compiler).
-At least one Alsa sound interfaces is required.
-Two sound interfaces are required to talk and listen through the base station using a headset with microphone.
+Then you can clone osmocom-analog from <a href="git://git.osmocom.org/osmocom-analog">git://git.osmocom.org/osmocom-analog</a> in your home directory.
</p>
+<pre>
+
+# cd ~
+# git clone git://git.osmocom.org/osmocom-analog
+Cloning into 'osmocom-analog'...
+...
+
+
+</pre>
+
<p>
-As you got the source code from GIT repository, run 'autoreconf -if' inside GIT repository's directory first:
+Before you can compile, you need to install <b>"autoconf"</b>, <b>"gcc"</b> and <b>"make"</b>.
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+
+# sudo apt install autoconf
+# sudo apt install gcc
+# sudo apt install make
+
+</pre>
+
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Change to the repository directory and run <b>"autoconf -if"</b> once. This is only needed the first time compiling. It will generate the configure script.
</p>
<pre>
# cd osmocom-analog
# autoreconf -if
+configure.ac:15: installing './compile'
+configure.ac:25: installing './config.guess'
+configure.ac:25: installing './config.sub'
+configure.ac:6: installing './install-sh'
+configure.ac:6: installing './missing'
+extra/Makefile.am: installing './depcomp'
+#
</pre>
<p>
-Then compile:
+Run configure script. It will generate the make files depending on your supported libraries.
</p>
<pre>
# ./configure
+...
+checking for ALSA... yes
+checking for UHD... no
+checking for SOAPY... yes
+checking for IMAGEMAGICK... yes
+checking for FUSE... yes
+configure: Compiling with Alsa support
+configure: UHD SDR not supported. Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
+ environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.
+configure: Compiling with SoapySDR support
+configure: Compiling with ImageMagick
+configure: Compiling with FUSE
+..
+#
+
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Run <b>"make"</b> and <b>"make install"</b> to build and install osmocom-analog.
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+
+# make clean # always do this after you pulled from GIT server
# make
+...
+# sudo make install
+...
</pre>
+<p class="toppic">
+<a name="test"></a>
+Test
+</p>
+
<p>
-At your option:
+To test Audio, use Ubuntu's settings to see if you get audio working at all, before you search for problems at osmocom-analog.
+If you can hear sound, you can run B-Netz which should give a clean FSK audio signal.
</p>
<pre>
-# make install
+# bnetz -k 17
+...
+
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+You shoud get audio.
+If not, check out the volume setting.
+Try ohter software that uses Alsa sound output.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To test SDR, check you USB device.
+In case of a virtual machine you need to pass through the LimeSDR device.
+In this example, LimeSDR is connected to Device 2 of Bus 2.
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+
+# lsusb
+Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1d50:6108 OpenMoko, Inc. Myriad-RF LimeSDR
+Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
+Bus 001 Device 002: ID 80ee:0021 VirtualBox USB Tablet
+Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
+
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Now check if the SoapySDR driver finds a device with driver <b>"lime"</b>.
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+
+# SoapySDRUtil --find
+######################################################
+## Soapy SDR -- the SDR abstraction library ##
+######################################################
+...
+Found device 3
+ addr = 1d50:6108
+ driver = lime
+ label = LimeSDR-USB [USB 3.0] 9062000C42D1A
+ media = USB 3.0
+ module = FX3
+ name = LimeSDR-USB
+ serial = 0009062000C42D1A
+
+
+#
</pre>
<p>
-Now you are ready for a quick test:
+If this is the case you can try to run a base station.
+I suggest to use a B-Netz base station, because it transmits a nice FSK sound at 153.330 MHz.
+Use a radio to listen to that frequency.
</p>
<pre>
-# src/bnetz/bnetz -k 1 -l 2
-bnetz.c:268 info : Entering IDLE state, sending 'Gruppenfreisignal' 2 on channel 1.
-Base station ready, please tune transmitter to 153.010 MHz and receiver to 148.410 MHz.
-To call phone, switch transmitter using pilot tone to 153.370 MHz
+# bnetz --limesdr -k 17 # for LimeSDR
+# bnetz --limesdr-mini -k 17 # for LimeSDR Mini
</pre>
<p>
-Do you hear the whistling sound on your speaker/headset? Now you can continue with the radio setup.
+Do you hear the whistling sound on your radio? Now you can continue with the radio setup.
