One-Click Install/Update for:
• JS8Call
• JS8Spotter
• SitRepMapper
• FLDIGI
• FLRIG
• FLMSG
• FLAMP
The SitRepNet Install Script downloads the current release of each program from its official source (w1hkj.org for FLDIGI/FLRIG/FLMSG/FLAMP, js8call.com for JS8Call, and sitrepnet.com for JS8Spotter/SitRepMapper) and installs it — so you always end up with the current version rather than whatever (possibly older) version your Linux distro’s app store happens to carry.
The four w1hkj.org programs are compiled from source specifically for your machine. JS8Call installs as a prebuilt AppImage. JS8Spotter and SitRepMapper are Python programs — SitRepMapper gets its own private Python environment so it can’t conflict with anything else on your system.
Every time you run the script, it first checks what you have installed against what’s currently available, and only installs what’s missing or out of date.
This script will work with any Debian-based Linux system: Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, or Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit or 64-bit).
The script will:
1. Detect your OS/architecture.
2. Report currently installed vs. latest available versions for every program.
3. Ask which programs (if any) to skip — press Enter to install everything.
4. Install dependencies via ‘apt’.
5. Download and install whatever was selected and is missing or out of date.
6. Create desktop launcher icons (optional).
