Installation

neoradio2 publishes pre-built wheels for Windows, macOS, and Linux (CPython 3.9–3.14), so in most cases installation is simply:

pip install neoradio2

Windows: pip.exe is usually located under the Scripts directory of your Python installation.

Linux — udev rules

On Linux the udev rules must be installed so the device is accessible without root. Download 99-intrepidcs.rules and install it:

sudo cp 99-intrepidcs.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

Then add your user to the users group and log out/in for it to take effect:

sudo usermod -aG users $USER

If you would rather write the rule by hand, the neoRAD-IO2 uses USB vendor id 093c and product id 1300:

SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="093c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1300", GROUP="users", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="093c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1300", GROUP="users", MODE="0666"

Re-plug the device after installing the rules.

Building from source

If no wheel is available for your platform, pip builds from source. The repository uses git submodules, so a source build needs a CMake toolchain and a compiler (MSVC on Windows, GCC/Clang elsewhere). See the README for details.
