I had already installed soapysdr with Homebrew on my Monterey M1 Air. Now, having correctly installed RTL_433 (working with its default RTL-SDR device) on the same machine, I'd like to expand it to support my Airspy R2 as well.
A search led me to the Pothos Homebrew repository, which seems to include a brew install soapyairspy formula not present in the original Homebrew repository.
Now I wonder if I can simply brew the Pothos tap followed by brew install soapyairspy, or it would be better to uninstall soapyadr first and THEN reinstall it via the newly installed tap?
Thanks for your help, I'm really a very basic Terminal user in MacOS and I don't want to disrupt other installations. I'm using a M1 compiled version of SDR++ which includes Airspy and AirspyHF+ drivers, but when I run the soapysdrutil it cannot find any Airspy driver, so I assume a soapysdr enabled driver should be used.
