Help with ADS-B Exchange Setup Scripts on Radarcape

I'm tiring to install the ADS-B Exchange Setup Scripts on Radarcape so I can send MLAT I followed the steps listed at https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange#obtaining-and-using-the-scripts and used
curl -L -o /tmp/axfeed.sh https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange/raw/master/install.sh
sudo bash /tmp/axfeed.sh but I get this error bash: curl: command not found any help would be appreciated

 

Hi,

i've just started feeding ADSBx from my Radarcape device (AirSquitter).
It worked fine with the changes to the config file as a radarcape_gps device (Airsquitter). I am using it on a seperate Raspberry getting the data from the Airsquitter and uploading it.

With this setup, the service is trying to connect locally to port 30104. This end up in this message every few seconds:

Code:

Jan 03 19:50:23 Raspi3 adsbexchange-mlat[16342]: Beast-format results connection with :127.0.0.1:1:30104: [Errno 111] Connection refused

After commenting out the line in the config, the error is gone and it works as expected.

Code:

# RESULTS="--results beast,connect,localhost:30104"
RESULTS2="--results basestation,listen,31003"
RESULTS3="--results beast,listen,30157"
RESULTS4="--results beast,connect,localhost:30154"

Maybe it's helpful to add it as a note in the description

 

Thank you for the help not too familiar with Linux is it sudo apt update then curl -L -o /tmp/axfeed.sh https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange/raw/master/install.sh
sudo bash /tmp/axfeed.sh ?

 

all these lines are single commands. You need to excecute them one after the other waiting for getting it finished.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y curl

these two commands make sure that the latest "curl" version is installed which is required for the next step getting the installer script downloaded to your local device
once this is done, continue with these two commands:

curl -L -o /tmp/axfeed.sh https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange/raw/master/install.sh
sudo bash /tmp/axfeed.sh

during the setup you will be asked several questions (e.g. your location)

 

Thanks, Foxhunter and wiedehopf for the help did the sudo apt update and sudo apt install -y curl but when I tried the curl -L -o /tmp/axfeed.sh https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange/raw/master/install.sh I get this Error

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.

 

Oh, sorry, i did not realize that you're trying to install it directly on your Radarcape device

Follow wiedehopf, he made the right suggestion.

 

Thank you for the help I did commends but getting No beast data detected or No MLAT data detected I also did the

cat /etc/default/adsbexchange the Ip address is correct for my Radarcape device

INPUT="---.---.--.69:30005"
change to:
INPUT="---.---.--.69:10003"
and
INPUT_TYPE="dump1090"
change to:
INPUT_TYPE="radarcape_gps"

Thanks wiedehopf I was able to install but when I go to https://www.adsbexchange.com/myip/ I still get this

No beast data detected from

No MLAT data detected from

No Feeder connection.

 

Acessing this page requires that the device you are using for check is in the same network.

I made the mistake recently where i have it successfully installed on a Raspberry, but my Laptop was connected using a VPN. Therefore the IP adress mask is completely different and the pages shows exactly that
After i disabled the VPN temporary, the connection was reported successful. This has no impact to the feeding.

You could also go there and check if your feeder is listed:
Sync Stats - ADSBExchange (adsbx.org)

 

Thank you wiedehopf and foxhunter for all the help I did check and I'm not using VPN, I have tried the sudo journalctl -u adsbexchange-feed | tail -n30 but get this output

-- Logs begin at Mon 2022-01-10 03:22:06 UTC, end at Mon 2022-01-10 03:25:52 UTC . --

Yes like to install it on Radarcape


Here is the Patebin for the output of cat /etc/default/adsbexchange https://pastebin.com/3v1iL4yB

 

Did you reboot your Radarcape?
The device stores logs in RAM, so it might be deleted.

What's the output of the command

Code:

sudo systemctl status adsbexchange-feed

 

yes I did reboot here is output

Unit adsbexchange-feed.service could not be found.

Thanks

 

As wiedehopf stated, it doesn't seem to be installed properly on the selected device.

To be sure: The commands above have to be excecuted on the device where you have the ADSB Exchange client installed via script method

 

Yes I'm running the commands on the Radarcape here are the 2 two Pastebin links

Pastebin 1 https://pastebin.com/wEjRE2Rv

Thanks for the help
