mStream is an open-source, cross-platform music streaming server that allows you to enjoy your music library anywhere. It is an excellent alternative to commercial music streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music. mStream is easy to install and configure, and in this tutorial, we will show you how to install mStream on MXLinux Latest.
Before we get started with the installation process, let's make sure we have everything we need:
mStream is built on Node.js, so the first thing we need to do is install Node.js on our system. We can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
This command will install Node.js from the official Ubuntu package repository. Once the installation is complete, we can verify that Node.js is installed by running the following command:
node --version
This command should return the current version of Node.js installed on your system.
Now that we have Node.js installed on our system, we can proceed to install mStream. We can do this by first navigating to the directory where we want to install mStream. In this tutorial, we will use the ~/mstream directory. To navigate to this directory, run the following command:
cd ~/mstream
Next, let's download the latest version of mStream from the official website:
wget https://mstream.io/download/mstream-linux-x86_64-latest.tar.gz
This command will download the latest version of mStream for Linux in a compressed file format. We will need to extract this file to install mStream. To do this, run the following command:
tar -zxvf mstream-linux-x86_64-latest.tar.gz
This command will extract the compressed file and create a new directory called mstream-linux-x86_64. To install mStream, we need to navigate to this directory and run the installation script:
cd mstream-linux-x86_64
sudo bash install.sh
This command will start the installation process for mStream. Follow the prompts to configure mStream.
With mStream installed, we can now start the server and access it through a web browser. To start mStream, run the following command:
mstream start
This command will start the mStream server in the background. To access the server through a web browser, open your favorite web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000. You should see the mStream web interface.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install mStream on MXLinux Latest. mStream is an excellent music streaming server that allows you to enjoy your music library anywhere. With mStream, you can host your music library on your own server and access it from any device with an internet connection. We hope this tutorial was helpful, and you can now start using mStream.
