In this tutorial, we will explain the steps to install µStreamer on MXLinux Latest. µStreamer is a small, efficient, and easy-to-use tool that allows you to stream video and audio from a webcam or other sources over the network.
The first step is to install the dependencies required to run µStreamer. Open the terminal and enter the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mplayer2 git build-essential pkg-config libev-dev libssl-dev libasound2-dev libv4l-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libx264-dev libopus-dev libtheora-dev libva-dev libvpx-dev
These packages will install all the necessary dependencies required to run µStreamer.
Next, we will download the µStreamer source code from GitHub. Enter the following command to download the code:
git clone https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer.git
This command will download the µStreamer source code to the current directory.
Once the code is downloaded, we can build and install µStreamer. Enter the following commands in the terminal:
cd ustreamer
make
sudo make install
These commands will compile the code and install the µStreamer binary in the system's default binary directory.
Finally, we can test the installation by running the µStreamer binary. To test, enter the following command:
ustreamer
If everything is installed correctly, you should see the following output:
usage: ustreamer <options>
