CLI Mode
The command-line version of SatDump is available within the app bundle. Open a terminal and call it from /Applications/SatDump.app/Contents/MacOS/satdump [args]”. satdump_sdr_server is available this way as well.

Editing pipelines & satdump_cfg.json
Due to Apple’s app signing requirements for bundled apps on macOS, you cannot currently edit the main pipelines or satdump_cfg.json file wIthout re-signing the app. If you need this functionality, it is currently recommended that you compile SatDump from source.

SatDump settings and logs are saved to ~/.config/satdump/
