The pages of this Wiki are dedicated to providing software set-up information for:
- The RTL-SDR software defined radio dongle on Linux, macOS, and Windows
- The installation of Pyaudio for real-time audio processing using the audio codecs provided on you PC or using an external USB audio adapter
Both of these devices involve a combination of Python packages installed using PIP along with binary files that interface to hardware devices. The installation for each OS is slightly different. I do not recommend using a virtual machine (VM) for either of these installs. Yes, it works, but there is a noticeable speed penalty.
The three links below take you to the set-up instructions for each OS. Understand that files of captured audio and radio signals are provided in the tutorial repo contents, so interfacing to hardware is not 100% required in order to play with the design and analysis tools of scikit-dsp-comm during this tutorial.
Note as of Summer 2019 the Windows instructions for Python 3.7x have been modified slightly. This fix also assumes you are using Anaconda.
