Tutorial: How to install SRS on POP! OS Latest

SRS (Simple Realtime Server) is an open source streaming server that can be used to stream live and on-demand video and audio content over the internet. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install SRS on POP! OS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

Step 1 - Install Required Dependencies

We need to install the following dependencies before installing SRS:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake bison flex libssl-dev libpcre3-dev libsdl2-dev

Step 2 - Clone the SRS Repository

The next step is to clone the SRS repository to your system. We will use git to clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/ossrs/srs.git

This will clone the SRS repository to your current working directory.

Step 3 - Build and Install SRS

After cloning the SRS repository, change your current working directory to the srs directory.

cd srs/trunk

Now, we will build and install SRS using cmake.

sudo cmake . 
sudo make
sudo make install

This will build and install SRS on your system.

Step 4 - Configure SRS

The final step is to configure SRS. To configure SRS, we need to create a configuration file.

cd /usr/local/srs/conf/
sudo cp srs.conf.sample srs.conf

Now, we need to edit the srs.conf file to configure SRS.

sudo nano srs.conf

Find the following settings in the srs.conf file and change them as follows:

listen              1935;
max_connections     1000;
daemon              off;
srs_log_tank        file;
srs_log_file        ./objs/srs.log;

Save and Exit the file.

Step 5 - Start SRS

Once you have finished configuring SRS, start the SRS service by running the following command:

sudo /usr/local/srs/sbin/srs -c /usr/local/srs/conf/srs.conf

This will start the SRS service.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed and configured SRS on your POP! OS Latest system. You can now use SRS to stream live and on-demand video and audio content over the internet.
