OvenMediaEngine is an open source live video streaming server that is developed by Oven Media Inc. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install OvenMediaEngine on Void Linux.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
To install OvenMediaEngine, you will first need to install some dependencies on your Void Linux machine. Open the terminal and run the following command:
xbps-install -Syu cmake gcc make openssl-devel bzip2-devel zlib-devel
This will install the necessary packages.
Next, you will need to download the OvenMediaEngine source code. Go to the OvenMediaEngine website at https://ovenmediaengine.com and download the latest stable release.
Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the source code:
curl -LO https://github.com/AirenSoft/OvenMediaEngine/archive/vX.X.X.tar.gz
Replace 'X.X.X' with the version you want to download.
Extract the downloaded archive to a directory of your choice, for example:
tar -zxvf vX.X.X.tar.gz
cd OvenMediaEngine-X.X.X
Once you have the source code, you can build and install OvenMediaEngine. Run the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make install
This will build and install OvenMediaEngine on your Void Linux machine.
Now that OvenMediaEngine is installed, you need to configure it. Open the configuration file:

In this file, you can set various options such as the server port and the location of the media files. Save the changes and exit the editor.
To start OvenMediaEngine, run the following command:

This will start the server process. You can check that the server is running by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured OvenMediaEngine on your Void Linux machine!
