The following steps are intended to automate the installation of Red 5 versions 0.5 , 0.6.3 and 0.7.0 .
1. Download the red5 installer script ,
| wget http://69.72.132.53/red5_install |
Note : Do not download the script to some location where every one can access it as someone may execute it and overwrite an old installation !
2. Make it executable,
| chmod +x red5_install |
3. Execute the script,
| ./red5_install |
When the script is executed, it would ask for the red5 version to be installed. There are 3 choices as of now.. 0.7.0 , 0.6.3 and 0.5
Make the choice by entering the digits 1, 2 or 3 . Pressing any other key will select the latest version , 0.70 .
| # ./red5_install
Hello ,Please choose the RED5 version : (1,2,3 or 4) 1. RED5 0.7.0 |
After the version is selected, the process is automated . If everything goes well, you will see something similar to the following as the last line,
[DEBUG] 5467 main org.red5.server.Standalone.debug ) Startup done in: 5468 ms |
Here the time ‘5648 ms’ may vary with different versions and servers. You can exit from this screen by entering the key combination of control and c (^c) as this should shutdown the red5 server normally.
Else if you get any error please leave a word at our help desk and we can install it for you.
If everything goes right, then red5 would be installed in /usr/local/red and it can be started by executing,
service red5 start
