You have a very old OS: "Jessie"
The Rdarbox24's rbfeeder and mlat-client were first released when Stretch was the current OS. Their rbfeeder and mlat-client were therefore built for Stretch. Later when Buster was released, they built and made available packages for Buster also.
The rbfeeder's installation script checks the OS version.
If version is Stretch, it installs rbfeeder and mlat-client packages designed for Stretch.
If version is Buster, it installs rbfeeder and mlat-client packages designed for Buster.
If the OS is different from above two, it fails to install rbfeeder and outputs:
rbfeeder: "Dont know how to install for a distribution named "
mlat-client: "Package mlat-client is not available"
You can fool their installer to think that your OS is Stretch in the following way, and it will install packages of Stretch on Jessie.
(1) Download installation script and open it for editing
wget http://apt.rb24.com/inst_rbfeeder.sh
sudo nano inst_rbfeeder.sh
(2) In the editor, scroll down to following line
VERS=`lsb_release -c | awk -F ':' '{print $2}' | sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//' -e 's/[[:space:]]*$//'`
(a) Place a # at start of this line
(b) Add new line VERS=stretch
The code will become like this:
#VERS=`lsb_release -c | awk -F ':' '{print $2}' | sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//' -e 's/[[:space:]]*$//'`
VERS=stretch
Save file (Ctrl+O) and close editor (Ctrl+X)
(3) Run the installation script
sudo bash inst_rbfeeder.sh
Most likely the installation will succeed.
I got further this time thank you. Now I have this issue. I have attempted to install both of these, first one says it installed fine, and the second says I have the most recent version;
