SRS (Simple Real-Time Streaming) is an open source project that provides a low-latency and high-performance streaming server. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install SRS on Kali Linux latest release.
Before proceeding with the installation process, please ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to update the Kali Linux package list and upgrade the existing packages by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
SRS requires several dependencies to be installed on the system. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt-get install git gcc make automake libtool openssl-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libpcre3-dev libudt-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libboost-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-static-dev libboost-regex-dev liblog4cxx-dev -y
After installing the dependencies, clone the SRS Git repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ossrs/srs.git
Once the repository has been cloned, navigate to the cloned directory and build SRS by running the following command:
cd srs/trunk
./configure --with-ssl --with-hls --with-nginx --with-ffmpeg --with-upstream --with-transcode && make
Note: This command will configure SRS with SSL, HLS, NGINX, FFmpeg, Upstream, and Transcode modules.
After building SRS, install it by running the following command:
sudo make install
Finally, start the SRS service by running the following command:
sudo srs -c conf/srs.conf
Note: This command will start SRS with the default configuration file.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SRS on Kali Linux latest release. You can now configure SRS for your streaming needs by modifying the SRS configuration file.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
