SRS (Simple-RTMP-Server) is a live streaming server and supports features such as RTMP, HLS, and DASH. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install SRS on macOS.
Before we can proceed with the installation, we must meet the prerequisites.
Follow the steps below to install SRS:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew update
brew install ossrs/srs/srs
srs -v
The command will output the SRS version, confirming the installation was successful.
To start using SRS, we need to configure it. For this tutorial, we will use the default configuration file, which is located in the following directory:
/usr/local/etc/srs.conf
You can edit the configuration file using any text editor of your choice.
To start SRS, run the following command:
sudo srs -c /usr/local/etc/srs.conf
The sudo command is necessary to give SRS the required permissions. You can provide a different configuration file path if you have a custom one.
