Install from packages

apt

The apt repository contains packages for both x86-64 and arm64.

Install the GPG key:

wget -qO - https://repo.myriadrf.org/lime-microsystems-public.gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/lime-microsystems-public.gpg > /dev/null

Add source for your distribution:

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/lime-microsystems-public.gpg] https://repo.myriadrf.org/apt stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/repo.myriadrf.org.list

Update apt sources and install limesuiteng:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install limesuiteng

Conda

Hint

Check out radioconda and conda environment set up process. See Radioconda environment.

LimeSuiteNG library can also be installed as a conda package. LimeSuiteNG provides multiple packages for installation. You can install all possible LimeSuiteNG components by installing the LimeSuiteNG metapackage. If you want to install entire LimeSuiteNG metapackage and already have a gnuradio package in your current environment, execute the following commands:

conda activate <environment>
conda install limesuiteng=[version]

If you want to install entire LimeSuiteNG metapackage, but you are missing gnuradio package in your current environment, execute the following commands:

conda activate <environment>
conda install gnuradio=[version] limesuiteng=[version]

This ensures, that metapackage install pulls the correct gnuradio-limesuiteng plugin sub-package version that is compatible with the current gnuradio installation.

Note

Metapackage and gnuradio package version specification is optional. You can specify version limesuiteng=25.1.0 or version and build string limesuiteng=25.1.0=hba12d79_0 to install exact metapackage or gnuradio package version and it’s components. If version is not specified, conda will install the latest most compatible package versions.

Note

You can check out limesuiteng versions by executing the following command - conda search limesuiteng. To search for gnuradio versions use - conda search gnuradio.

If you only need certain LimeSuiteNG components, for example, development files, you can install a metapackage sub-package as a standalone package:

conda activate <environment>
conda install liblimesuiteng-dev

On Linux LimeSuiteNG conda metapackage links the following sub-packages together:

  1. liblimesuiteng - runtime libraries.

  2. liblimesuiteng-dev - runtime libraries, API and development files.

  3. limesuiteng-cli - command line tools for LimeSDR device control.

  4. gnuradio-limesuiteng - LimeSDR plugin for GNURadio. To install plugin as a separate package check out Conda package section.

  5. limesuiteng-soapy - LimeSuiteNG bindings for SoapySDR.

All of the above listed packages can be installed and used independently.

Note

Currently none of the above listed LimeSuiteNG conda sub-packages contain limeGUI application for conda environment on Linux. To use limeGUI install LimeSuiteNG from apt store or build LimeSuiteNG from source.
