µStreamer is a lightweight video streaming server that provides low-latency streaming of H.264/AAC encoded video over HTTP. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps for installing µStreamer on Arch Linux.
Before we start with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
First, we need to install the required packages for building µStreamer. Open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel cmake git ffmpeg
This command will install the required packages for building µStreamer on your Arch Linux system.
We will now clone the µStreamer repository from GitHub. Open the terminal and use the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer.git
This will download the repository to your system.
Now that we have cloned the repository, we can start building and installing µStreamer on our system.
Navigate to the ustreamer directory using the following command:
cd ustreamer
Create a build directory and enter it as follows:
mkdir build
cd build
Run the cmake command to generate the Makefile:
cmake ..
Run make to build and install the program:
make && sudo make install
This will build and install µStreamer on your system.
To verify the installation, type the following command in the terminal:
ustreamer --version
This command will show you the version of µStreamer installed on your system.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install µStreamer on Arch Linux. µStreamer provides a lightweight and efficient way to stream video content over the web, making it an ideal solution for both personal and professional use.
