In this tutorial, we will be installing Openmeetings, which is an open-source video conferencing and collaborative software, on MXLinux Latest.
It is always a good practice to update your system before installing any new packages. To update your system, open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Openmeetings requires Java to run. We will be installing OpenJDK 8, which is the recommended version for Openmeetings.
To install Java, run the following command:
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
After installing Java, you can verify the installation by running the following command:
java -version
Now that Java is installed, we can proceed to install Openmeetings.
Firstly, we need to add the Openmeetings repository to our sources list. Run the following command:
echo "deb https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/openmeetings/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmeetings.list
Next, we need to add the Openmeetings key to our system. Run the following command:
wget https://www.apache.org/dist/openmeetings/KEYS
gpg --import KEYS
Then, we will update our system package list:
sudo apt update
Finally, we can install Openmeetings by running the following command:
sudo apt install openmeetings
After the installation is complete, we need to configure Openmeetings.
Navigate to the Openmeetings directory:
cd /opt/openmeetings/
Copy the sample configuration file to the configuration file:
cp red5-web.properties.template red5-web.properties
Now, we can start Openmeetings by running the following command:
sudo service openmeetings start
Wait a few seconds for the service to start, then you can access Openmeetings by navigating to the following URL in your browser:
