Tutorial: Installing OvenMediaEngine on Manjaro

OvenMediaEngine is a free, open-source streaming server that allows you to broadcast live video and audio content over the internet. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OvenMediaEngine on Manjaro Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

  • Manjaro Linux
  • GCC 8.3 or higher
  • CMake 3.16 or higher
  • Git
  • Node.js and NPM (Recommended for the web UI)

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

First, we need to install the dependencies required by OvenMediaEngine. You can install them by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -S git gcc cmake make pkg-config openssl alsa-lib opus ffmpeg libvpx libsrtp libnice libmicrohttpd

Step 2: Clone OvenMediaEngine Repository

Next, we will clone the OvenMediaEngine source code from the official GitHub repository using the following command:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/ossrs/ovenmediaengine.git

Step 3: Build OvenMediaEngine

After cloning the repository, navigate to the ovenmediaengine directory and run the following commands:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)

This will create the binary executable ovm in the ovenmediaengine/build directory. You can run the server by executing the following command:

./ovm

Step 4: Access OvenMediaEngine Web UI

OvenMediaEngine also provides a web user interface to manage and monitor the server. You can access the UI by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000/ui.

If you have installed Node.js and NPM, you can also build and run the web UI locally using the following commands:

cd web-console
npm install
npm run build
npm start

This will start the UI at http://localhost:3000.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed OvenMediaEngine on Manjaro Linux.
