Running NanoVNA Saver (or other software) on Linux


 

Have been searching the threads for this item and am wondering if..

(1) NanoVNA Saver has a port to Linux or can be run under Wine on Linux?
(2) Are there any other NanoVNA software packages that run under Linux?

Thank you in advance.

Saw this:

Install Howto
Update the package index:
$ sudo apt-get update
Install nanovna-saver deb package:
$ sudo apt-get install nanovna-saver

Did this:
<17:23|~>sudo apt-get update

Got this:

Yes, it runs under Linux (e.g. on a Raspberry Pi, or for that matter, on MacOS)
You can download the source from the git repo, or I think there’s a package you can apt-get

Try doing a
$ Suso apt-cache search nanovna
See what that shows (if anything) as the naming may be slightly different or not included in your versions repo.

Away from a Debian based machine right now so cannot check the actual name of the package.

Just searched the package repo and it’s there in:
24.04LTS
24.10
And plucky
Called nanovna-saver in all of them

I just installed it in Kubuntu 24.04 from the repository via Synaptic package monitor with no errors. It executes and comes with the expected screen but I would have to go to the room with the physical machine to test operation and it's past my bedtime...

Disregard all of above. Found this..

panda@vika:~$ history
1 sudo apt update
2 sudo apt install python3-pip
3 pip3 install
4 echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/panda/.local/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
5 source ~/.bashrc
6 NanoVNASaver

Change "panda" to your home -- such as .home/panda/ for me became /home/whp/

The rest works and, once installed, entering "NanaoVNASaver" does the trick. It comes up with "/dev/ttyACM1 (H4)" in port (in my case).

Much simpler.

SUSO ………. sudo perhaps ?

Per your instructions..

<11:44|~> Suso apt-cache search nanovna
Suso: command not found
<11:44|~>sudo apt-cache search nanovna
[sudo] password for whp:
<11:45|~> {{{{nothing occurred after password negotiated}}}}

..howeverr, none of this worked out so, in looking for alternatives, I
found this, and was able to bring saver up.

panda@vika:~$ history
1 sudo apt update
2 sudo apt install python3-pip
3 pip3 install

4 echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/panda/.local/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
5 source ~/.bashrc
6 NanoVNASaver


Now my question is how does one connect to the NanoVNA like one would do
searching out the Com port on Windows?

Yes Sudo was what I meant to type but either I fat fingered it on my phone or it was auto corrected to Suso. So sorry about that.

Just did a quick search re nanovna-saver and mint and found a set of instructions for you to follow here:
