I am running Ubuntu 24.04 and had previously installed OpenWebRX, which worked as expected with a SDRplay RSP1B. I decided to install OpenWebRX+ by closely following the instructions at OpenWebRX+ Package Repository However, when I get to "To make sure OpenWebRX+ is running, direct your local web browser to the following address: http://localhost:8073/" I am still getting OpenWebRX and not OpenWebRX+

What am I missing? How do I get OpenWebRX+ to run instead of OpenWebRX?

How you did it?

On my second computer I installed Linux Mint. After the developers of Oqenwebrx and Openwebrx+ excluded help for me, because I'm not using the two Linux distros, Debian and Ubuntu.

I installed Ubuntu, too.I received error messages. But after Ubuntu saying to me "he faced a problem. We don't know what is the problem" lately, I switched back to Linux Mint.
Fresh install. First hint Librtlsdr0. Easy. Download install.

File.../pycsdr/setup.py line 3 in <module> from setuptools import setup, Extension no module named "setuptools"
Because I received also to have python3.12.3 I did complete install of this. Took long time as you can imagine.

Even the pycsdr setup from the source is no more possible.
To overcome this issue (above) I installed also many many dependicies, possible dependies and and.

My request to revise the setup steps, were also rejected.
On another pc I have a basic openwebrx running for the public. But would like to "improve" the capabilities.

As of now. python setuptools etc are installed. But I don't know why Linux Mint can't find python-setuptools, also., Whereis python-setuptools gives no information.

I should somewhere set up the path. But I'm not a Linux expert. I have level more than basic, Thats all.

File.../pycsdr/setup.py line 3 in <module> from setuptools import setup, Extension no module named "setuptools"
Because I received also to have python3.12.3 I did complete install of this. Took long time as you can imagine.

I can't get out of this message, no solution. Maybe some sleep?

How did you achive it?

Update: dealed almost two weeks (part time) to add Openwebrx+ on Linux Mint. Nada.
Made a clean Debian 11 (bullseye) install and installed Openwebrx+ "on the fly".
