step3 : Clone the installer and start the installation (More installation options can be found in "sudo ./install.sh --help").

  $ sudo apt update; sudo apt install git -y
  $ git clone https://github.com/RAKWireless/rak_common_for_gateway.git ~/rak_common_for_gateway
  $ cd ~/rak_common_for_gateway
  $ sudo ./install.sh

step4 : Next you will see some messages as follow. Please select the corresponding hardware model.

  Please select your gateway model:
  *	1.RAK831
  *	2.RAK2245
  *	3.RAK7243/RAK7244 no LTE
  *	4.RAK7243/RAK7244 with LTE
  *	5.RAK833(USB)
  *	6.RAK2247(USB)
  *	7.RAK833(SPI)
  *	8.RAK2247(SPI)
  *	9.RAK2246
  *	10.RAK2287(SPI)
  *	11.RAK2285

Note: The following content is contributed by @x893:

For DietPi OS need add apt install build-essential net-tools -y in rak/install.sh (for example before apt install git ppp dialog jq minicom monit -y) and need check hciuart enabled because systemctl disable hciuart not installed and script fail.
