Quick Start

Ant Media Server 1.2.0+ runs on Linux and Mac not on Windows.

Let's start, we assume that you have got Enterprise Edition somehow and downloaded to your local computer

1. Extract the downloaded file in to a directory.

2. Make sure you have installed Oracle Java 8

   • Installation Java 8 on Ubuntu

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

   • Installation Java 8 on Mac

     • Follow the guide here

3. Open a terminal and go to directory where you have extracted Enterprise Edition

   cd /path/to/ant-media-server
   

4. Start the server with start.sh script.

   ./start.sh
   

   It starts by printing some logs to the terminal.

5. Open the browser(Chrome or Firefox) and go to the http://localhost:5080/WebRTCAppEE. Let browser access your camera and mic unless it cannot send WebRTC Stream to the server

   

   WebRTCAppEE stands for WebRTCApp Enterprise Edition

6. Write stream name or leave it as default and Press Start Publishing button. After you press the button, "Publishing" blinking text should appear

   

7. Go to the http://localhost:5080/WebRTCAppEE/player.html

   

8. Press Start Play button. After you press the button, webrtc stream should be started

   

9. Open http://localhost:5080/WebRTCAppEE/player.html in other tabs and Press Start Playing button again to check how it plays and what the latency is.
