Install the package named rtl-433 on most distributions on Linux. It's also available on FreeBSD.
You might want to install these udev-Rules.
FYI, reloading these rules with:
$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
Then we should be able to run the program like this:
$ rtl_433 -C si -M hires -M level -M stats -Y auto
This will look per default on 433.29 MHz, other available frequencies are 315, 345,
868 and 915 MHz. To listen on other frequencies add -f 868M to the command above
for example.
I've installed this on a laptop running Ubuntu.
