Following steps are required:
(1) Install OS Alarm on microSD card of a Pi
(2) Install Decoder dump1090-fa on Alarm Pi.
(3) Install Planefinder data-feeder on Alarm Pi
(4) Install data-feeders of other sites on Alarm Pi

STEP 1 of 5:
Install OS Alarm on microSD card of a Pi.
Please see next post for details

STEP 2 of 5:
Install dump1090-fa (32-bit and 64-bit OS)

The method below builds dump1090-fa from source code, using ArchLinux's PKGBUILD and foo.install scripts.
Code: 
sudo pacman -Syy --needed git binutils make fakeroot pkgconf gcc

git clone https://github.com/abcd567a/dump1090-fa-arch.git

cd dump1090-fa-arch

makepkg -si

At end you will be asked if you want to install the built package [Y/n].
If you chose Y, the dump1090-fa will be installed immediately.
If you chose not to install the build package immediately, you can install it later by following command
Code: 
cd dump1090-fa-arch

sudo pacman -U dump1090-fa-*.pkg.tar.xz

THINGS TO DO AFTER INSTALLATION OF dump1090-fa IS COMPLETED

(1) IMPORTANT: Reboot computer
otherwise dump1090-fa will fail to start, and either the Syview web page wont show (Not Found), or a rotating wheel will show.

(2) To make SkyView Map show range rings, do following:
  1. Open file "dump1090-fa" for editing
    Code:

  2. In the opened file, go to following line: RECEIVER_OPTIONS="--device-index 0 --gain -10 --ppm 0 --net-bo-port 30005"
  3. In above line, add your latitude and longitude, so the line becomes like below:
    RECEIVER_OPTIONS="--device-index 0 --gain -10 --lat xx.xxxx --lon yy.yyyy --ppm 0 --net-bo-port 30005"
    NOTE: Repalce xx.xxxx and yy.yyyy by your actual latitude and Longitude
  4. Restart dump1090-fa

    Code: 
    sudo systemctl restart dump1090-fa
  5. Clear browser cache and reload browse
