+# Installing UHD 4.8, GNU Radio 3.11, and RFNoC on Ubuntu 24.04.2 (VMware)
+
+This guide walks you through installing the **latest UHD 4.8**, **GNU Radio 3.11**, and **RFNoC** support on **Ubuntu 24.04.2** running in **VMware**.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ System Preparation
+
+### 1. Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install -y \
+  cmake g++ python3-dev python3-mako python3-numpy python3-gi \
+  libboost-all-dev libgmp-dev swig libusb-1.0-0-dev \
+  libfftw3-dev libcomedi-dev libcppunit-dev libgsl-dev \
+  libqwt-qt5-dev libqt5svg5-dev python3-pyqt5 \
+  liblog4cpp5-dev libzmq3-dev libsndfile1-dev \
+  git pkg-config doxygen graphviz python3-sphinx \
+  python3-lxml liborc-0.4-dev python3-setuptools \
+  libspdlog-dev libvolk-dev pybind11-dev \
+  python3-pygccxml python3-cairo \
+  gir1.2-cairo-1.0 python3-gi-cairo \
+  python3-matplotlib qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools
+```
+
+> ✅ **Note**: `python3-setuptools` is **required** to build the UHD Python components (e.g., `pyuhd`, `usrp_mpm`). If missing, `make` will fail at the final stages with a `ModuleNotFoundError`. ✅ `python3-matplotlib` is required if you want to use instrumentation blocks in GNU Radio Companion (e.g., DistanceRadar, AzElPlot). ✅ `qtbase5-dev`, `qtchooser`, `qt5-qmake`, and `qtbase5-dev-tools` are essential for building `gr-qtgui`, which provides QT GUI and instrumentation blocks.
+
+---
+
+## 📦 UHD 4.8 Installation (Latest)
+
+### 2. Clone UHD 4.8 from Source
+
+```bash
+cd ~/src
+git clone --branch UHD-4.8 https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd.git
+cd uhd/host
+mkdir build && cd build
+```
+
+### 3. Configure UHD with RFNoC
+
+```bash
+cmake -DENABLE_RFNOC=ON ..
+```
+
+### 4. Build and Install UHD
+
+```bash
+make -j$(nproc)
+sudo make install
+sudo ldconfig
+```
+
+### 5. Download Firmware and FPGA Images
+
+```bash
+sudo /usr/local/lib/uhd/utils/uhd_images_downloader.py
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📻 GNU Radio Installation (Latest from `main` Branch)
+
+### 6. Clone GNU Radio
+
+```bash
+cd ~/src
+git clone --recursive https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio.git
+cd gnuradio
+```
+
+### 7. Checkout GNU Radio Source Code
+
+```bash
+# Already cloned in previous step
+git checkout main
+git pull
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+```
+
+### 8. Build GNU Radio
+
+```bash
+rm -rf build
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake -DENABLE_GR_UHD=ON -DENABLE_GR_FFT=ON -DENABLE_GR_ANALOG=ON \
+      -DENABLE_GR_BLOCKS=ON -DENABLE_GRC=ON -DENABLE_GR_QTGUI=ON ..
+make -j$(nproc)
+sudo make install
+sudo ldconfig
+```
+
+> 🔄 If Instrumentation blocks (like `AzElPlot`) are still missing in GRC:
+>
+> Ensure `python3-matplotlib` and all QT5 dev packages are installed:
+>
+> ```bash
+> sudo apt install python3-matplotlib qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools
+> ```
+>
+> Then **rebuild GNU Radio** from Step 8.
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ RFNoC Enablement
+
+RFNoC (RF Network-on-Chip) enables FPGA-accelerated block processing for supported USRPs. UHD 4.8 includes RFNoC support by default when `-DENABLE_RFNOC=ON` is passed to `cmake`.
+
+To verify:
+
+```bash
+uhd_usrp_probe | grep RFNOC
+```
+
+If you see lines like:
+
+```
+[INFO] [RFNOC] Initialized RFNoC blocks...
+```
+
+Then RFNoC is successfully enabled and loaded.
+
+Note:
+
+- RFNoC blocks are only supported by FPGA-enabled USRPs (e.g., X310, N310). USRP1 does **not** support FPGA RFNoC block execution, but UHD will still compile with RFNoC libraries present.
+- Useful for mixed environments where newer USRPs are also used.
+
+---
+
+## 🧰 Optional: gr-ettus and RFNoCModTool (Legacy UHD 4.0 + GR 3.8)
+
+If you are working with UHD 4.0 and GNU Radio 3.8 and want to create or customize your own RFNoC blocks, you may also install `gr-ettus` and use the `rfnocmodtool`.
+
+```bash
+cd ~/src
+git clone --branch maint-3.8-uhd4.0 https://github.com/ettusresearch/gr-ettus.git gr-ettus
+mkdir gr-ettus/build && cd gr-ettus/build
+cmake -DENABLE_QT=True ..
+make -j$(nproc)
+sudo make install
+sudo ldconfig
+```
+
+Then verify the tool:
+
+```bash
+export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python3/dist-packages/:$PYTHONPATH
+rfnocmodtool help
+```
+
+This step is **not needed** for UHD 4.8 and GNU Radio 3.11+, where RFNoC support is built into the UHD and GRC tools directly.
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Testing UHD and GNU Radio
+
+### 9. Verify UHD Installation
+
+```bash
+sudo uhd_usrp_probe
+```
+
+You can confirm the UHD version from the output, e.g.:
+
+```
+[INFO] [UHD] UHD version: 4.8.0.x
+```
+
+### 10. Verify GNU Radio Version
+
+```bash
+gnuradio-config-info --version
+```
+
+This should return something like:
+
+```
+3.11.x
+```
+
+### 11. Verify RFNoC Support
+
+```bash
+uhd_usrp_probe | grep RFNOC
+```
+
+If RFNoC blocks are listed or not marked as disabled, RFNoC is properly built in.
+
+### 12. Launch UHD FFT Tool
+
+```bash
+uhd_fft --args="type=usrp1" --freq=10e6
+```
+
+### 13. Start GNU Radio Companion
+
+```bash
+gnuradio-companion
+```
+
+Build a simple flowgraph with `UHD: USRP Source` and `QT GUI Sink` to verify.
+
+> 🔍 **Missing Instrumentation Blocks?**
+>
+> If you don’t see blocks like `AzElPlot` or `DistanceRadar`, ensure:
+>
+> - `python3-matplotlib` was installed before building GNU Radio.
+> - All QT5 dev tools were installed.
+> - You **rebuilt GNU Radio** (Step 8).
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ VMware USB Passthrough
+
+### 14. Connect USRP to VM
+
+- Shut down VM
+- In VMware settings:
+  - Add USB Controller (2.0 or 3.0)
+  - Add USRP USB device
+- Boot VM and verify with `uhd_find_devices`
+
+---
+
+## 🛠 USB Device Not Detected? Try This
+
+If you see the following error:
+
+```
+[ERROR] [USB] USB open failed: insufficient permissions.
+No UHD Devices Found
+```
+
+Try:
+
+1. Shut down the VM.
+2. In VMware:
+   - Go to **Settings > USB & Bluetooth**
+   - Under “Connect USB devices”, make sure your **USRP1** (or similar) is listed and set to **“Connect to Linux”**
+3. Restart VM and check again:
+
+```bash
+uhd_find_devices
+```
+
+It should now detect the device and print something like:
+
+```text
+[INFO] [UHD] Found USRP1...
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📂 Optional: Set Environment Variables
+
+### 15. Add to `~/.bashrc`
+
+```bash
+export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python3/dist-packages/:$PYTHONPATH
+```
+
+```bash
+source ~/.bashrc
+```
