I've no idea how conversant those who wish to try this are with terminal commands in Linux - you would probably have got the program running by now anyway, so I'll go ahead and assume that isn't the case.In the terminal emulator of your distro (just called Terminal in your Applications Menu), type sudo apt update  (easier to just copy and paste the commands into your Terminal).[ATTACH=full]132644[/ATTACH]After that completes, type :sudo apt upgradeWait to finish, now to add some utilities (you'll need root privileges, so still in terminal, type sudo -s then your password). Then -sudo apt-get install patchutils libproc-processtable-perlThen, sudo apt-get install build-essential (maybe not necessary, but no big dea to add it)Check for cmake version. In Terminal, type cmake --version. (should be greater than 3.12.0) If not installed, still in Terminal, type :sudo apt-get install cmakeYou may also need the 'make' build tool, so in Terminal type  sudo apt-get install makeSame with gcc:  check gcc --version . (I think that's already installed in Ubuntu etc).Next, in terminal  sudo apt-get install gitNow go to <a href="https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TBS_driver_installation" target="_blank">TBS driver installation - LinuxTVWiki</a>Scroll down to' Buidling TBS'Forked Driver' and follow these instructions in your Terminal -mkdir tbsdrivercd tbsdrivergit clone tbsdtv/media_build git clone --depth=1 deeptho/linux_media -b latest ./mediacd media_buildmake dir DIR=../mediamake allyesconfigmake -j4sudo make install(Notice we replace tbsdtv with deeptho in the second cloning line!)Now reboot - in Terminal sudo reboot-----------------------------------To check you have the driver for your TBS PCi card/USB box, in Terminal do dmsg | grep frontend (should show your TBS adapter frontend). If not you will need to go to TBS's download site to obtain the open source Linux driver for your pci card or USB box.---------------------------------------------------------The Blindscan app.Go to <a href="https://github.com/deeptho/linux_media" target="_blank">deeptho/linux_media</a> and click on the green Code bar to download the deepthought zip. Unzip the downloaded file copy or send it to your Home folder.Go to <a href="https://github.com/deeptho/blindscan" target="_blank">deeptho/blindscan</a> and follow the instructions at the bottom of the page.You will, with any luck and following my hopefully legible instructions, be ready to do some spectrum and blindscanning - if you don't come to a full stop as I have done- you might be lucky in having the elusive magic kernel or whatever it is that has so far evaded me!</blockquote>
