"""
To be able to decode Mode-S and ADS-B traffic originating from airplanes, you need to install the dump1090
decoder. There is a number of forks available, any version that supports the `--ifile` and `--iformat` arguments
should work.
Recommended fork: [dump1090 by Flightaware](https://github.com/flightaware/dump1090)
If you are using the OpenWebRX repository, you should be able to install the package `dump1090-fa-minimal`.
If you are running a different fork, please make sure that the command `dump1090` (without suffixes) runs the
version you would like to use. You can use symbolic links or the
[Debian alternatives system](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianAlternatives) to achieve this.
