## Installation / Debian / Ubuntu / MacOS
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**1. Clone and run:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/smittix/intercept.git
|
|
cd intercept
|
|
./setup.sh
|
|
sudo python3 intercept.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Docker (Alternative)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/smittix/intercept.git
|
|
cd intercept
|
|
docker-compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** Docker requires privileged mode for USB SDR access. See `docker-compose.yml` for configuration options.
|
|
|
|
### Open the Interface
|
|
|
|
After starting, open **http://localhost:5050** in your browser.
|
|

## Hardware Requirements
|
|
|
|
| Hardware | Purpose | Price |
|
|
|----------|---------|-------|
|
|
| **RTL-SDR** | Required for all SDR features | ~$25-35 |
|
|
| **WiFi adapter** | Must support promiscuous (monitor) mode | ~$20-40 |
|
|
| **Bluetooth adapter** | Device scanning (usually built-in) | - |
|
|
|
|
Most features work with a basic RTL-SDR dongle (RTL2832U + R820T2).
|
|

|

|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### RTL-SDR not detected (Linux)
|
|
|
|
Add udev rules:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo bash -c 'cat > /etc/udev/rules.d/20-rtlsdr.rules << EOF
|
|
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bda", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2838", MODE="0666"
|
|
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bda", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2832", MODE="0666"
|
|
EOF'
|
|
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
|
|
```
|
|
Then unplug and replug your RTL-SDR.
|
|
|
|
### "externally-managed-environment" error (Ubuntu 23.04+)
|
|
|
|
The setup script handles this automatically by creating a virtual environment. Run:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./setup.sh
|
|
source venv/bin/activate
|
|
sudo venv/bin/python intercept.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### dump1090 not available (Debian Trixie)
|
|
|
|
On newer Debian versions, dump1090 may not be in repositories. The recommended action is to build from source or use the setup.sh script which will do it for you.
