    • Install UHD
      

      sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends libuhd4.2.0 libuhd-dev

  • Installing GNU Radio 3.10 version, 3.10.3.0. The latest version as of this writing was 3.10.3.0 released on 6/21/2022.
    • The packages supplied with the system do not work. Until they release the newer packages, we can install the next version.
      The default package is gnuradio 3.10.3.0-2. We will install gnuradio 3.10.3.0-3

      # Add unstable package list
      sudo mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list
      # In /etc/apt/sources.list, add this line:
      deb http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main
      
      # Save and close the file.
      sudo apt update
      
      # Check the available versions and compare them to the ones listed above.
      apt list -a gnuradio
      
      # We need to upgrade to the newer libc6
      sudo apt-get -t unstable install libc6
      
      sudo apt-get -t unstable install gnuradio gnuradio-dev
      
      # Remove unstable package list
      sudo mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list
      # Insert a "#" at the beginning of the line we added earlier so it looks like the line below:
      # deb http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main
      
      # Save and close the file.
      
      sudo apt update
      
      # With LightDM, put PYTHONPATH in ~/.xsessionrc instead of ~/.profile
      mousepad ~/.xsessionrc
      # add this  export command to the end of the file or to any existing PYTHONPATH line. Save changes to make the variables permanent.
      # you will need to change the path if you are not using python 3.10.
      export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages:/usr/lib/python3.10/dist-packages:/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages:$PYTHONPATH
      

    • Create a file named /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gnuradio.conf containing: /usr/local/lib

      sudo mousepad /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gnuradio.conf
      # insert the line: /usr/lib
      # Save the file
      
      sudo ldconfig
      
      # Show version
      gnuradio-config-info -v
      

    • reboot
