How to install mStream on Debian

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing mStream, a media streaming software, on Debian.

Prerequisites

Before we start, there are a few prerequisites that you need to have:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, you need to install some dependencies that mStream requires. Run the following command to do so:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libsox-fmt-mp3

Step 2: Download mStream

Next, you need to download the mStream package from the official website. You can do this by running the following command:

wget https://github.com/IrosTheBeggar/mStream/releases/download/v0.8.2.3-3/mstream-linux-2.4.4-x86_64.zip

This will download the latest version of mStream in the form of a .zip file.

Step 3: Extract the mStream package

Once the download is complete, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the package and extract it. You can do this by running the following command:

unzip mstream-linux-2.4.4-x86_64.zip
