===Start GNU Radio from a terminal window===
<code>gnuradio-companion</code>
If you get an error when you start GNU Radio "The xterm executable 'x-terminal-emulator' is missing, edit the following file:<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo nano /etc/gnuradio/conf.d/grc.conf
</syntaxhighlight>Edit the line to read 'xterm_executable = /usr/bin/gnome-terminal"
===Open flowgraph for your SDR===
In GNU Radio open a flowgraph and navigate to the gr-smart_meters/examples folder. If you have installed everything above you should be able to run it and see smart meter data!
