RMOBclient for Ubuntu and other Linux

    I am setting up Echoes and Ebrow on a Ubuntu 24.04 LTS laptop. I have installed Echoes and I have installed Ebrow within a venv. The documentation talks about RMOBclient being available for download as a binary; however, I can only see that on the Sourceforge download site for Windows installations. If I search for RMOB on the laptop, only some Python files are found. Do Linux installations need the RMOBclient and, if so, from where do I download it?

    Thanks for developing this software.

      I hope to see your station on RMOB soon!

      p.s.
      In fact your Echoes station, since I see you're already there!

    Hi Chris,

    sure you need that client for linuxes too.

    There are two files under "Linux Binaries": aarch64 is for intel 64bit architecture while arm64 is for for arm 64bit. These are binaries you can place where you want, then from Ebrow's preferences tab you can locate that file, so Ebrow can run it when needed.

    I hope to see your station on RMOB soon!

    Thank you for your prompt reply. I have now downloaded and installed RMOBclient_aarch64.

    I think I have the laptop ready to connect to the SDR; however, I anticipate that it may take some setup time to have meteors detected satisfactorily. So the Echoes configured station may not appear on RMOB just yet!
