Installing from source

Building Rayhunter from source, either for development or because the install script doesn't work on your system, involves a number of external dependencies. Unless you need to do this, we recommend you use our compiled builds.

• Install nodejs/npm, which is required to build Rayhunter's web UI
  • Make sure to build the site with cd bin/web && npm install && npm run build before building Rayhunter. If you're working directly on the frontend, npm run dev will allow you to test a local frontend with hot-reloading (use http://localhost:5173 instead of http://localhost:8080).
• Install ADB on your computer using the instructions above, and make sure it's in your terminal's PATH
  • You can verify if ADB is in your PATH by running which adb in a terminal. If it prints the filepath to where ADB is installed, you're set! Otherwise, try following one of these guides:
    • linux
    • macOS
    • Windows
• Install curl on your computer to run the install scripts. It is not needed to build binaries.

Install Rust targets

Install Rust the usual way. Then,

• install the cross-compilation target for the device rayhunter will run on:

rustup target add armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf

• install the statically compiled target for your host machine to build the binary installer serial.

# check which toolchain you have installed by default with
rustup show
# now install the correct variant for your host platform, one of:
rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
rustup target add aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
rustup target add aarch64-apple-darwin
rustup target add x86_64-apple-darwin
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

Now you can root your device and install Rayhunter by running:

cargo build --bin rayhunter-daemon --target armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf --profile firmware --no-default-features --features orbic

cargo build --bin rootshell --target armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf --profile firmware

cargo run --bin installer orbic

If you're on Windows or can't run the install scripts

• Root your device on Windows using the instructions here: https://xdaforums.com/t/resetting-verizon-orbic-speed-rc400l-firmware-flash-kajeet.4334899/#post-87855183
• Build the web UI using cd bin/web && npm install && npm run build
• Push the scripts in scripts/ to /etc/init.d on device and make a directory called /data/rayhunter using adb shell (and sshell for your root shell if you followed the steps above)
• You also need to copy config.toml.example to /data/rayhunter/config.toml
• Then run ./make.sh, which will build the binary, push it over adb, and restart the device. Once it's restarted, Rayhunter should be running!
