MistServer is a high-performance media server that allows you to stream live and on-demand video and audio content. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of MistServer on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you'll need to ensure that your system meets the following requirements:

• EndeavourOS Latest installed
• Root access to the system
• Internet connection

Step 1: Update the system

Before installing MistServer, it is recommended to update the system packages to the latest version. To do this, open the terminal and enter the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Wait for the update process to complete, and then move to the next step.

Step 2: Install MistServer

MistServer is not available in the default EndeavourOS repository, so we need to add the MistServer repository to the system. To do this, follow the below steps:

Add the MistServer Repository

sudo pacman -Syyu

sudo pacman -S mistserver

Once the installation is complete, you can check if MistServer is running or not by entering the following command:

mistserver-console

Step 3: Configure MistServer

After installation, MistServer will be configured with some default settings. However, you may want to configure some settings like adding new sources, changing source transcode settings, etc. You can do this by editing the MistServer configuration file. The main configuration file for MistServer is located at:

/usr/local/mistserver/mistserver.conf

You can edit this file by using your favorite text editor such as nano or vi.

Step 4: Start MistServer

To start the MistServer service, enter the following command:

sudo systemctl start mistserver

To check the status of the MistServer service, enter the following command:

sudo systemctl status mistserver

If everything is properly configured, you'll see the following status:
