In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing mStream, a media streaming software, on Debian.
Before we start, there are a few prerequisites that you need to have:
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
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.
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
This will extract the contents of the package to a directory called mstream-linux-2.4.4-x86_64.
Now that you have downloaded and extracted the mStream package, you can install it. Navigate to the extracted directory by running the following command:
cd mstream-linux-2.4.4-x86_64
From here, you can install mStream by running the following command:
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
This will install mStream globally on your Debian machine, making it accessible from anywhere on the system.
Now that mStream is installed, you can start it by running the following command:
mstream start
This will start the mStream server, and you can access it by opening a web browser and visiting http://localhost:3000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed mStream on your Debian machine. Now you can use mStream to stream your media content to any device on your network.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
