It would be easier to use GPREDICT (http://gpredict.oz9aec.net/).

The easiest option should be to use Ubuntu Mate ( https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-for-raspberry-pi-3/) and then use the PPA (https://launchpad.net/~gpredict-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa).

One other option would be to look at the SatNOGS project:

https://satnogs.org

This is an open-source project to create a network of satellite ground stations; it uses the Raspberry Pi as a reference platform. By default it uses RTL-SDR for a radio, but there's support for anything supported by Hamlib as well (https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib/wiki/Supported-Radios). If you haven't looked at it already, it's worth checking out.
