Restreamer is an open-source video streaming software that allows you to live stream your video content to multiple platforms simultaneously. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Restreamer on NetBSD.
Before installing Restreamer, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and enter the following command to install the required packages:
sudo pkgin install bash ffmpeg
This will install the Bash shell and FFmpeg, which is a multimedia framework that is required by Restreamer.
To download Restreamer, navigate to the official website and click on the "Download" button. Choose the version that is suitable for your NetBSD system and copy the link to the file.
Next, open the terminal and enter the following command to download the Restreamer archive:
wget <restreamer-download-url>
Replace <restreamer-download-url> with the link you copied earlier.
Once the download is complete, extract the archive by entering the following command:
tar -zxvf restreamer-<version>.tar.gz
Replace <version> with the version of Restreamer you downloaded.
Move the Restreamer folder to the desired location by entering the following command:
sudo mv restreamer-<version> /usr/local/restreamer
This will move the Restreamer folder to the /usr/local/restreamer directory.
Before running Restreamer, we need to configure it.
Navigate to the Restreamer directory by entering the following command:
cd /usr/local/restreamer
Create a copy of the default configuration file by entering the following command:
cp config/default.json config/config.json
Open the Restreamer configuration file using a text editor by entering the following command:

Edit the configuration file to match your desired settings. Make sure to set the correct RTMP server and stream key for the platforms you want to stream to. Save the changes and close the file.
To start Restreamer, navigate to the Restreamer directory by entering the following command:
cd /usr/local/restreamer
