Installing libraries and Fldigi
===============================
You need to be connected to the internet to install the following packages:
libportaudio2, libhamlib2 and fldigi.
and the needed libraries:
libgtk2-gladexml-perl, libdigest-crc-perl, gpsd, Net::GPSD.
To install them just run the script from the installation directory
as root:
cd pskmail-x.x
sudo ./libinstall.sh
Installing pskmail
==================
To install the newest version run the install.sh script from
the installation directory as root:
sudo ./install.sh
e.g.: cd pskmail-x.x
sudo ./install.sh
The install script copies the executables to their proper location
and makes a directory ~/.pskmail which contains your Inbox, Outbox etc.
Running pskmail
===============
You run the program by typing
fldigi --profile emc &
pskmail
...in a terminal. Keep the terminal open.
Lock the center frequency of fldigi with the 'Lk' button and
switch Files->logfile O
