How to install oscam on Raspberry PI

Requirments

No matter it is Raspberry PI 1, 1-B, 2 or 3. You need Raspberry PI, Internet Connection, Mouse and Key Board. HDMI monitor or adapter.

I have already tested on Raspbian, Noobs and Ubuntu Core. But it might work on all Linux kernel Operating System too.

You have to downloads following application in order to complete OSCAM installation on your PI



Noobs or Raspbian

Etcher or Win32DiskImager (I will Explain using Etcher since it is easier than Win32DiskImager )  
 https://etcher.io/

16 GB Memory Card or May be less than but if you use 2 GB even not vbad with Raspberry PI old Versions.

How to Install Raspbian

Downloads Raspbian from

https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

But if you use older version of Raspberry PI like Version 1 and 2, or if you don't have bigger Memory card, You should not worry and Go and get older version

How ever You should have an idea which version suit for your raspberry pi, Other wise you may not fully utilize your raspberry PI

You need to configure followings on your raspberry pi before install oscam


To Set Static IP Address. Right click on the Up and Down Arrow marks on top right corner

How to select the Menu

Then click on it and you will get a screen

to Configure - Select IT as interface and in Red Box select as eth0. Now you have selected Wired Network as Raspberry PI Ethernet. enter your Local network IP address to IP Address Box, Example If your Local network is in 192.168.1.0 network, enter available IP address. In gateway Just enter our router IP address. How ever you need to have an idea about what is gateway. Enter google DNS to DNS Lines. And Press apply and then close. Then Restart your Raspberry PI.

Configure SSH and VNC Server. VNC server is free for Raspberry PI raspbian and You need to have VNC Client on your Desktop.

After restarting Your Raspberry PI, Go to Start Menu On Your Raspberry PI (Click Raspberry ICON) on your Left top corner.

Go to Preferences --> Raspberry PI Configurations

Select SSH - Enabled and VNC -- Enabled --> Then Press ok and Restart Your PI again. Now you are ready to install OSCAM


Now you can keep alone your raspberry pi just with connecting to power and network

Starting Installation OSCAM

Downloads Following Application to your Computer now, Before that Switch on your Raspberry PI and keep one minute for boot.


1. Downloads VNC Client. (https://www.realvnc.com/en/download/viewer/)

2. Putty (http://www.putty.org/)

Even If you use VNC Client, or putty. You can use Terminal for Installing OSCAM. I use Putty to install OSCAM


Since you use SSH, You have to use following settings on putty, assume your raspberry PI Ip address is 192.168.1.10

Press Open Following Screen will appear,

No One : User Name for Raspberry PI : pi

then Password : raspberry

Starting Installation, make sure again Internet connection for raspberry pi

Launch putty.exe.
Enter IP address of the raspberry, in the Hostname field.
Click on “Open“.
Accept the certificate and login with the “pi/raspberry” account


Install required files and applications to install oscam, Since you don't have updated your PI, first we need to update PI by following command, for your easy you can copy command and click on putty terminal right button of mouse, it will automatically paste.

sudo apt-get update 

It will take some time to update and once complete, The sudo command is used when you need to do something that requires permissions of a superuser. We use it because the “pi” account is not a superuser and system level operations like installing packages need a superuser account.

Now, let´s install the packages for compiling Oscam.

sudo apt-get install subversion cmake build-essential libssl-dev libpcsclite1 libpcsclite-dev dialog

If you are using USB smartcard readers, you will need to compile libusb.

Go to your home directory.

cd ~

command to Download libusb sources from sourceforge.

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/files/libusb-1.0/libusb-1.0.9/libusb-1.0.9.tar.bz2

Command for extracting sources.

tar xjvf libusb-1.0.9.tar.bz2

command to Compile libusb and install.

cd libusb-1.0.9

./configure


make


sudo make install



Back to home directory.

cd ~


Once you complete Installation necessary files and applications, then you need to follow commands 
Since we are installing oscam-SVN version, so we are going to downloads it from oscam site and compile 


http://www.streamboard.tv/oscam/wiki/GettingOscam
You can get OSCam source code from SVN, using the following command:




svn checkout http://www.streamboard.tv/svn/oscam/trunk oscam-svn




Then we move in to source folder 

cd oscam-svn

make a folder called oscamMake

mkdir oscamMake 

Then get in to oscamMake folder
cd oscamMake

Then we use cmake to prepare build
cmake ..

Compiling oscam using
make 

Then we install oscam, once you install oscam, if there was no error, your bin files will be located at etc/local/bin. so you need to type below command.
sudo make install


You have to copy all oscam configuration files to /usr/local/etc

Before that you need to make change ownership with 

sudo chown -R pi.pi /usr/local/etc

but you should mind that, without giving proper rights to that folder, you will not be allowed to copy files, we are going to give rights using following command

you can use filezila to update your file to /usr/local/etc. Downloads Filezila from following link

https://filezilla-project.org/download.php

run oscam using

sudo /etc/local/bin/oscam

and use your web browser to check oscam

192.168.1.10:8888 initially, if you change webif port, then you have to use your changed port
