How To Fix siqs_ftdi: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu siqs_ftdi is provided by cutesdr package.

cutesdr is:

The CuteSDR application’s primary purpose is for spawning custom applications or for educational use. It is NOT a full featured program as it is purposely kept simple in order for developers to more easily spin off their own applications. A further goal was to use only the stock functionality of Qt ie no libraries or special drivers. This limits CuteSDR to using only a network connection. The main gui and framework is written by Moe Wheatly, AE4JY.

CuteSDR itself has only a network interface and will directly support the RFSPACE NetSDR and SDR-IP radios. The siqs_ftdi and SDRxxServer applications (packaged separately) provide network interfaces to RFSPACE USB devices.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install cutesdr

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install cutesdr.

sudo apt -y install cutesdr

sudo aptitude install cutesdr
