Install FreeDATA

If windows Defender is warning you about a Trojan you can take the file out of quarantine as long as you trust the file from Github as this is a false positive. We are working on this issue. Its a known issue of a library we use: Nuitka, Info regarding this on github

[Installer] (recommended) Using the FreeDATA-Installer.exe

  1. Download the most recent version of FreeDATA´s Window Installer from GitHub: https://github.com/DJ2LS/FreeDATA/releases.
  2. Launch the installer
  3. To start FreeDATA launch "FreeDATA Server" Desktop icon

You can access the GUI from a browser of your choice: http://localhost:5000/gui

if "localhost" isnt working, try "127.0.01" or "0.0.0.0" instead

Using the freedata-server_windows.zip

  1. Download the most recent version of freedata-server_windows.zip from GitHub: https://github.com/DJ2LS/FreeDATA/releases.
  2. Unzip
  3. To start FreeDATA launch "freedata-server.exe"

You can now configure FreeDATA via the GUI http://localhost:5000/gui or edit the config.ini before you start the server

Optionally Install Hamlib

Hamlib will be shipped with FreeDATA. If you prefer running your own instance of Hamlib, please follow the following steps:

  • Get a copy of the Hamlib-Installer: https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib/releases. Use a setup appropriate for your machine (w32/w64). In most cases, the latest available version will be the right choice.
  • Run the installer. In most cases the suggested installation path should be okay.
