+installing limesdr on linux other than ubuntu, windows or osx is no fun. see below why:
+
+install with sudo:
+	https://github.com/myriadrf/pyLMS7002M/
+
+
+
+
+add testing branch debian (for soapy sdr)
+	https://serverfault.com/questions/550855/how-to-add-debian-testing-repository-to-apt-get?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qai
+
+
+
+sudo apt-get install libsoapysdr-dev
+(if needed, remove binutils, this will take 10mins...> sudo apt-get remove binutils)
+
+
+
+download deps:
+
+
+#packages for soapysdr available at myriadrf PPA
+sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:myriadrf/drivers
+sudo apt-get update
+
+#install core library and build dependencies
+sudo apt-get install git g++ cmake libsqlite3-dev
+
+#install hardware support dependencies
+sudo apt-get install libsoapysdr-dev libi2c-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev
+
+#install graphics dependencies
+sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev freeglut3-dev gnuplot
+
+
+
+START HERE:
+BUILD / INSTALL SOAPY
+dependencies:
+$ sudo apt-get install cmake g++ libpython-dev python-numpy swig
+
+get source:
+$ git clone https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDR.git
+
+build:
+$ cd SoapySDR
+$ mkdir build
+$ cd build
+$ cmake ..
+$ make -j4
+$ sudo make install
+$ sudo ldconfig (needed on debin systems)
+
+
+
+BUILD LIMESUITE
+
+git clone https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuite.git
+cd LimeSuite
+mkdir builddir && cd builddir
+cmake ../
+make -j4
+sudo make install
+sudo ldconfig
+
+
+
+enable udev rules (wrong path in guide):
+cd ../udev-rules
+chmod +x install.sh 
+sudo ./install.sh
+
+
+
+now you can run limesuiteguis or limeutil and test soapy!:
+
+$ LimeUtil --find
+  * [LimeSDR Mini, media=USB 2.0, module=FT601, addr=24607:1027, serial=1D3AC730356F7E]
+
+
+test:
+$ SoapySDRUtil --find
+######################################################
+##     Soapy SDR -- the SDR abstraction library     ##

+
+Found device 0
+  addr = 24607:1027
+  driver = lime
+  label = LimeSDR Mini [USB 2.0] 1D3AC730356F7E
+  media = USB 2.0
+  module = FT601
+  name = LimeSDR Mini
+  serial = 1D3AC730356F7E
+
+
+YES!!!
+
+(what this? https://www.welle.io/devices/soapysdr)
+
+
+We want the python vna example tho...
+UPDATE 30 April - repo code updated to support limesdr mini!
+BUT it is obsolete now... they recommend using pyLMS7002MSoapy instead of 
+https://github.com/myriadrf/pyLMS7002M/
+
+INSTALL pyLMS7002Soapy:
+dependencies:
+$ sudo pip install matplotlib
+
+$ git clone https://github.com/myriadrf/pyLMS7002Soapy.git
+$ cd pyLMS7002Soapy 
+$ sudo python setup.py install
+
+test:
+$ python
+$ from pyLMS7002Soapy import *
+
+test2: sna!
+cd pyLMS7002Soapy/examples/
+$  python measureSNA.py snatest1
+
+works!
+

+output of cmake:
+
+  builddir git:(master) ✗ cmake ../                   
+CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:13 (cmake_policy):

+  The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all

+  specific short-term circumstances.  Projects should be ported to the NEW
+  behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.
