I started with a clean image of Ubuntu Desktop 16.04.4 LTS
This will install everything:
sudo apt install python-pip
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo pip install pybombs
pybombs recipes add gr-recipes git+https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-recipes.git
mkdir prefix/
pybombs prefix init -a default prefix/default/ -R gnuradio-default
pybombs install gr-osmosdr
cd prefix/default
source ./setup_env.sh
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:myriadrf/drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install limesuite liblimesuite-dev limesuite-udev limesuite-images
LimeUtil --find
gnuradio-companion
note that the next time you want to run gnu-radiocompanion, you will need to run
cd prefix/default
source ./setup_env.sh
gnuradio-companion
now you have a SDR environment configured to pybomb install from the https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-recipes.git repository.
