What you can hear at Davos... With RTL-SDR

[Sean Lynch]

It's probably a lot easier to get up and running with dump1090:
https://github.com/antirez/dump1090 . Just start it up with the -net flag
(or --net?), and it will start a web server on port 8080 by default. It
uses Google Maps for the slippy map, which may or may not meet your needs.
