Installation
Setting up your own GSM network is made easy with two installation options.
If you prefer a plug-and-play experience, simply use my pre-built system image with all the necessary software pre-configured.
For those who like to be more involved in the process, install your preferred operating system and then run my automated installation scripts to quickly set up the required software environment.
