# rtl_433 Windows MinGW-W64 build
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "static" builds are self-contained but do not include SoapySDR support.
|
|
|
|
|
The regular builds depend on LibUSB, RTL-SDR, and SoapySDR libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are no TLS builds (mqtts and influxs) currently.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the SoapySDR builds you need PothosSDR installed https://downloads.myriadrf.org/builds/PothosSDR/
|
|
|
|
|
Any recent version should work, currently built with 2021.07.25-vc16:
|
|
|
|
|
https://downloads.myriadrf.org/builds/PothosSDR/PothosSDR-2021.07.25-vc16-x64.exe
|
|
|
|
|
When installing choose "Add PothosSDR to the system PATH for the current user"

|
Remove the SoapySDR.dll in this directory, it's for testing only and won't load any driver modules.
|

|
|
|
To run with SoapySDR you need to copy `rtl_433.exe` to `PothosSDR\bin` (usually `C:\Program Files\PothosSDR`).
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise SoapySDR driver modules won't be found.

|
|
|
An alternative to installing SoapySDR from PothosSDR is to extract the installer
|
|
|
|
|
and copy the builds (.exe) from this release to the `bin` directory in PothosSDR.

## Quick start
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run rtl_433 you have to open Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe) or Windows Terminal,
|
|
|
|
|
then type "cd (rtl_433 folder directory, not rtl_433.exe)"
|
|
|
|
|
Example: "cd C:\Users\(name)\Downloads\(rtl_433 folder)"
|
|
|
|
|
If typed correctly, the command prompt should change to your rtl_433 folder directory,
|
|
|
|
|
then type "rtl_433 (option(s))" and enter, rtl_433 will then start running with the options given.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running the "-F http" option would look like this:
|
|
|
|
|
(directory)> rtl_433 -F http
|
|
|
|
|
Press enter and rtl_433 should successfully launch.
|
|
|
|
|
When it does, go to http://127.0.0.1:8433/
