Install Java

I recommend Oracle over OpenJDK. Download the corresponding jdk-8u40--.tar.gz file from this link and manualy install or by these simple commands (Webupd8 ppa).

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Webupd8 ppa repository also providing a package to set environment variables.

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

Install Red5

sudo apt-get install -y red5-server

Start red5

service red5-server start

Make sure to install both in the same directory. Everything should be fine by now. Kudos!

  • I did the commands and I got red5 installed but i got This page is used to test the proper operation of the Red5 server after it has been installed. If you can read this page it means that the Red5 server installed at this site is working properly. HTTP Status 404 - /vod/index.html type Status report

    message /vod/index.html

    description The requested resource (/vod/index.html) is not available.

    Apache Tomcat/6.0.35

  • I don't know why it is not working. Refer to this post for manual installation : http://askubuntu.com/questions/25961/how-do-i-install-a-tar-gz-or-tar-bz2-file – ngub05 Mar 21 '15 at 17:11
  • Hi I had to sign up a new account : Like I said I ran all of the commands and still get the apache 404 error even though I get the red5 is installed page. Will these commands install it in the same directory? – zu studios Apr 21 '15 at 22:11
