• Install Ardop:
  • prepare a place to put it:
    open terminal:
    $ cd /home/jay
    $ mkdir wl2k
  • Download ardop:
    • There are a lot of versions of the ARDOP software available on github.
    • The source I used:
      (link to:) ardopcf by pflarue on github

      This site contains very helpful background and usage info.
      Scroll down and click the Releases link on this site to go to:

      (link to:) ardopcf releases

      Current version is: v.1.0.4.1.2
      From the Releases page, click on the version you want for your computer (Windows, Linux, rPi, etc.).
      It will download to your Downloads folder.

      I downloaded: ardopcf_amd64_Linux_64
      Tip from the site: "A major new feature of this release is Webgui, a new web browser based graphical user interface for ardopcf.
      To enable this feature use the -G or --webgui command line option followed by a port number.
      I've been using -G 8514 which makes the Webgui port one less than the default 8515 port used for the ardopcf host interface.
      Then point your browser to localhost:8514 to begin using the Webgui.
      The "Show Help" button there provides additional details."
    • It will be downloaded to your Downloads folder. Put it into wl2k folder.
      Open a terminal:
      $ cd /home/ [userName] /Downloads
      $ mv ardopcf_amd64_Linux_64 /home/ [userName] /wl2k/

      Make it executable:
      Open File Manager, navigate to the wl2k folder.
      Click to select the ardopcf_amd64_Linux_64 file.
      Right-click, select Properties (bottom of box).
      Click Permissions tab,
      click Execute check-box to "Allow executing file as program"

      
      then double-click to execute.
