Please note that this version of sBITX-toolbox is currently compiled as a 64bit application AND WILL NOT WORK ON THE DEFAULT sBitx as shipped from the manufacturer. We offer a 32bit version for the original as-shipped version https://github.com/drexjj/sBITX-toolbox.
Install on you 64bit sBITX:
Open terminal and type:
cd $HOME && git clone https://github.com/drexjj/sBITX-toolbox64.git && cd sBITX-toolbox64 && chmod +x *.sh && ./installer.shReboot the sBitx when finished and start using the toolbox.
Or see the instruction guide for installation steps.
If you encounter problems upgrading to v2.6, then please run this command from terminal.
cd $HOME && cd sBITX-toolbox && git stash && git pull && chmod +x *.sh && ./upgrade.shNow run sBitx Toolbox and use the Update --> Check For Updates function again.
The detailed instruction guide is now in PDF format and is located at Instruction Guide
