cd qspectrumanalyzer
pip3 install --user .
Windows:
********
There is preliminary Windows support, but QSpectrumAnalyzer has to be installed manually for now.
There will be installer (with all QSpectrumAnalyzer dependencies bundled with it) in the future.
Only 64-bit Windows are supported (there are no public 32-bit builds of SoapySDR
libraries and drivers).
1. install Python 3.6 (64-bit) from python.org (`download <https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.1/python-3.6.1-amd64.exe>`_)
and add Python to PATH
2. install SoapySDR libraries and drivers (bundled as part of Pothos SDR installer:
`download <http://downloads.myriadrf.org/builds/PothosSDR/?C=M;O=D>`_)
2. ``pip install PyQt5``
3. ``pip install QSpectrumAnalyzer``
You should now be able to run it with ``qspectrumanalyzer`` (or ``python -m qspectrumanalyzer``
if it doesn't work for you). If ``soapy_power`` backend can't detect your SDR device, maybe you
have to run `Zadig <http://zadig.akeo.ie/>`_ (also part of Pothos SDR bundle) to install USB
drivers.
