Make sure that you meet the [wiki:server_hardware_requirements hardware requirements] if you plan to install your own Flarmradar server. There are [http://www.flarmradar.ch/public/dist/server/pkg/ server software packages] available for Debian-based Systems (Debian, Ubuntu and derived friends). Other distributions must install the [http://www.flarmradar.ch/public/dist/server/ zip-files available for download].


=== Software installation & testing ===

1. Download the client package from http://www.flarmradar.ch/public/dist/server/pkg/

{{{
$ wget http://www.flarmradar.ch/public/dist/server/pkg/flarmradar_<version>_all.deb
}}}

2. Install the package

{{{
$ sudo -i dpkg -i flarmradar_<version>_all.deb
}}}

The package creates a new user 'flarm' which owns the Flarmradar server process and files.

3. Start the server

{{{
$ sudo su -l -c "/opt/flarmradar/flarmradar.sh stop" flarm
}}}

Once that the server has started, it is available on http://localhost:8080/radar/. Note that the server is just listening on the local interface and not (yet) accessible over the network. This is for security reason.
