Before we start, make sure you have the following:
It is essential to update the system to the latest version to ensure we have the latest packages and security updates.
sudo swupd update
sudo swupd bundle-add package-utils
We also need to add the package-utils bundle to have access to the "pkg-config" command, which is a dependency required for the OvenMediaEngine installation.
Next, we will install the required dependencies for OvenMediaEngine.
sudo swupd bundle-add development-tools
sudo swupd bundle-add c-basic
sudo swupd bundle-add multimedia
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-x264
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-libxml2
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-libsoup
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-zlib
OvenMediaEngine is written in Go programming language, so we need to install Go on our system.
sudo swupd bundle-add go-basic
Now we can download and install OvenMediaEngine. We will use the "go get" command to download and install OvenMediaEngine.
sudo -E go get -u github.com/AirenSoft/OvenMediaEngine
Note that we are using the "-E" option with "sudo" to preserve the user's environment variables. It is necessary to set the "GOPATH" environment variable to allow the "go get" command to download and install OvenMediaEngine.
Once the installation is complete, the OvenMediaEngine binary will be located in "/root/go/bin".
We can now start OvenMediaEngine by running the following command:
sudo /root/go/bin/ovenmediaengine
