MistServer is an open-source media server that can be used to stream videos, audios and live events. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing MistServer on NetBSD.
Before installing MistServer, you need to update the packages on your NetBSD machine. Run the following commands to update the packages:
sudo pkgin -y update
sudo pkgin -y upgrade
Next, you need to set up the dependencies required for MistServer. The following command will install the necessary packages:
sudo pkgin -y install curl gcc make pkg-config zlib bzip2 xz cmake
In this step, you will need to download MistServer's source code from their website (https://mistserver.org/). You can do this by running the following command:
curl -L https://mistserver.org/getmist.sh | sh
This command will download and extract the MistServer files to the "/usr/local/mistserver" directory.
Now that you have the MistServer files on your NetBSD machine, you need to build and install them. Run the following commands:
cd /usr/local/mistserver
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ../
make && sudo make install
This will build and install the MistServer files on your NetBSD machine.
Finally, you can start the MistServer by running the following command:
mistserver
You can now test MistServer by opening a web browser and going to "http://localhost:4242/".
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MistServer on your NetBSD machine.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install MistServer on NetBSD. Now, you can use MistServer to stream your media files to your audience. If you face any issues during the installation process, please refer to the MistServer documentation or contact their support team for further assistance.
