it working is in the u tube video "worlds cheapest scanner"

I spent about a year trying to install op25, until I came across this method which worked
good, but it took my computer about 36 hours to install ! with 2gb of ramThe sudo
modremove command is necessary to use everytime the rtl is plugged as it seems to
reinstallthe kernel everytime it is plugged inAfter alot of effort and research this so
far appears to be the most clear and best method of install

Historically the use of pybombs to install OP25 has been very helpful since it takes
care of building all the needed prerequisite software. This is no longer necessary as of
Ubuntu 14.04, which installs the 3.7 version of gnuradio. As a result we have a new
install method that takes 95% less time than the old pybombs method, is less error-prone,
and requires no more RAM than a base install of Linux. You can run this install in a
machine with 1GB of RAM, although 2GB is recommended (this recommendation comes from
ubuntu, and is caused by the memory-hog GUI - OP25 by itself currently does not require
2GB to compile, now that a source build of gnuradio is no longer required)...
This recipe has been tested on ubuntu 14.04 only, it is likely NOT to work in either 12.04
or 16.04...
First, use these commands to install the pre-reqs
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep gnuradio
sudo apt-get install gnuradio gnuradio-dev gr-osmosdr librtlsdr-dev libuhd-dev
libhackrf-dev libitpp-dev libpcap-dev git
Second, use these commands to build and install OP25: [Note, the mkdir build; cd build;
cmake ../; make; sudo make install sequence is a bog-standard form when source-building
apps that utilize cmake.]
cd ~
git clone git://op25.osmocom.org/op25.git
cd op25
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
Finally you may need to use the command
sudo rmmod dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
to remove the DVB kernel module that conflicts with the RTL USB SDR. You may also need to
edit the system udev rules for the RTL -both are common issues and you can search for the
needed resources if the RTL isn't getting recognized... Once this is all done (no
longer a need to source any env commands into the shell) you should be ready to invoke
scope.py, which is the principal OP25 GUI app... As a pre-check, you can also run the
osmocom_fft application (which should install as part of the pre-reqs) to test basic RTL
connectivity and rule out related problems before invoking scope.py...
I would appreciate feedback and especially any trouble reports when using these
procedures. If all is OK we'll add this to the wiki...
