+I gave it a try on my main computer and it was pretty easy to install and use.
+===== Installing Intercept =====
+I first installed the dependencies:
+<code bash>
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install rtl-sdr multimon-ng rtl-433 dump1090-mutability aircrack-ng bluez bluetooth
+</code>
+At this prompt, I selected ''NO'':
+<code>
+dump1090 can be started automatically via an init-script. Otherwise, the init-script does nothing; you must
+run dump1090 by hand.
+You can modify the options used when automatically starting dump1090 by running "dpkg-reconfigure
+dump1090-mutability" as root, or by editing /etc/default/dump1090-mutability.
+Start dump1090 automatically?
+</code>
+Then I installed the program:
+<code bash>
+git clone https://github.com/smittix/intercept.git
+cd intercept
+./setup.sh
+sudo python3 intercept.py
+</code>
+===== Running Intercept =====
+To start the program, I ran:
+<code bash>
+source venv/bin/activate && sudo venv/bin/python intercept.py
+</code>
+For convenience, I add this to my alias.
+This gives more instructions on how to access the program, and how to stop it:
+<code>
+==================================================
+ INTERCEPT // Signal Intelligence
+ Pager / 433MHz / Aircraft / Satellite / WiFi / BT
+==================================================
+Open http://localhost:5050 in your browser
+Press Ctrl+C to stop
+</code>
+It also shows other IP addresses where the program can be accessed (which I'm not showing here).
+I added more details of what I was able and unable to decode in the discussion (must be logged into the website to see).  Add comments if you give it a try!
