• Introduction
• Installation
• Removal

The goal of the mmbtools-get shell script is to install:

• the odr-mmbtools components developed by the Open Digital Radio non-profit association on a clean debian environment
• Working configuration files that you can later customize as you see fit

We highly recommend that you install odr-mmbTools on a new debian environment, starting from the Bullseye release. Since some software components, like the audio encoders or the modulator, are CPU-intensive, we recommend you setup a lite debian environment (ie. without a GUI framework).

If you want to quickly play with the tools before installing anything on your host, we suggest you use our docker-mmbtools repository.

1. Sign-in with your user profile
2. Update your system:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get upgrade -y
   

3. Find your time zone:

   timedatectl list-timezones
   

4. Set your time zone:

   sudo timedatectl set-timezone your_timezone
   

5. Install the git command:

   sudo apt-get install -y git
   

6. Clone this repository:

   # Clone the stable version of dab-scripts
   git clone https://github.com/opendigitalradio/dab-scripts.git
   
   # Or clone the development version of dab-scripts
   git clone --branch next https://github.com/opendigitalradio/dab-scripts.git
   

7. Install the ODR-mmbTools suite and the sample configuration folder

   # Install the stable version of odr-mmbTools
   sudo bash dab-scripts/install/mmbtools-get --branch master install
   
   # Or install the development version of odr-mmbTools
   sudo bash dab-scripts/install/mmbtools-get --branch next install
   

1. You must use the argument --odr-user with the command mmbtools-get in the following 2 cases:
   • You are not running mmbtools-get with sudo: you must thus specify the odr user profile
   • You are running mmbtools-get with sudo and you do not want your current user to be the odr user profile
2. mmbtools-get will create the user specified with odr-user if it does not exist:
   • password: odr
   • additional groups: audio,dialout

If you wish to remove the odr-mmbTools suite and the sample configuration folder, then follow these steps:

1. Stop all odr-mmbTools related jobs in supervisor
2. Remove the ODR-mmbTools software suite and the configuration folder

   sudo bash dab-scripts/install/mmbtools-get remove
