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!
