Download OpenAPRS Daemon
Introduction
OpenAPRS daemon is a APRS MySQL Injector designed for use
with the current APRS IS servers.
Installation
Step 1 (compiling)
Perform the following unix commands:
./configure
make install
mkdir logs
cp etc/example.conf etc/openaprs.conf
Step 2 (configuring)
Edit etc/openaprs.conf with your favorite text editor, pico is usually
a good choice but for you die hards I guess vi will work. You will also need
to edit bursts/auth.burst.example and save it to bursts/auth.burst in order
to authenticate to the iGate server. Don't forget to inject your MySQL server
with the correct tables:
mysql -f openaprs < sql/openaprs.sql
Step 3 (running)
Perform the following unix commands:
./openaprs -d -c etc/openaprs.conf
Once openaprs is run you may type /HELP at any time for a list of
available commands. This will run openaprs in debug mode and allow
you to see packets being parsed, use without -d for background mode.

Information: Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) is an amateur radio based system for real time tactical digital communications of information of immediate value in the local area. In addition, all such data is ingested into the APRS Internet system (APRS-IS) and distributed globally for instant access. In addition to messages, alerts, announcements and bulletins, the most visible aspect of APRS is its map display. Anyone may place any object or information on their map and it is distributed to all maps of all users in the local RF network or monitoring the area via the internet. Any station, radio or object that has an attached GPS is automatically tracked. Other prominent map features are weather stations, alerts and objects and other map related amateur radio volunteer activities including Search and Rescue and signal direction finding. -WikiPedia
