Streama is written in Java with support for multiple platforms. The latest release can be found at Streama Releases.
Streama requires a minimum of 2gb RAM and a modern multicore processor. Low end or older systems do not preform well or at all, this includes the RaspberryPi and variants which are not currently supported.
Ubuntu is the recommended distribution for Streama.
Java 8 is the recommended, Streama may not work with Java 7 or 10.
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre
Create or enter the directory streama will be run from (the directory should be owned as the user that will run Streama). /data/streama or /srv/streama are good options, but any will work.
Download the war from the GitHub releases page. You can use the example below to download.
wget https://github.com/streamaserver/streama/releases/download/vEXAMPLE/streama-EXAMPLE.war
Make the .war executable with (replace the filename with the one you downloaded):
chmod +x streama-X.Y.war
It is not recommended to run streama as root.
java -jar streama-X.Y.war
You should see the following output after a short time:
Grails application running at http://localhost:8080 in environment: production
Other mainstream distributions are supported and should be very similar to the Ubuntu instructions.
