Is there a way for a new user to get uhd installed from the package manager though? A lot of people want to dive right into gnu radio with hardware, doing simple things like spectrum analysis. I'm not aware of a way of getting the uhd + gnuradio setup running that's easier then pybombs. I very well could be wrong here.
