autoreconf --install
./configure
make
make install

Running:

rtl_433 -h

Usage: [-d device index (default: 0)]
       [-g gain (default: 0 for auto)]
       [-a analyze mode, print a textual description of the signal]
       [-t signal auto save, use it together with analyze mode (-a -t)
       [-l change the detection level used to determine pulses (0-3200) default: 10000]
       [-f [-f...] receive frequency[s], default: 433920000 Hz]
       [-s sample rate (default: 250000 Hz)]
       [-S force sync output (default: async)]
       [-r read data from file instead of from a receiver]
       [-p ppm_error (default: 0)]
       [-r test file name (indata)]
