#### or, you can run "hostname
# we'll work mostly from the /tmp/ directory:
cd /tmp
# install JDK 6
yum install -y java-1.6.0-openjdk
# install MySQL server
yum install -y mysql-server
service mysqld start
chkconfig mysqld on
# Tomcat6 is not available in the main repos, so we will
# use the jpackage repos:
yum install -y jpackage-utils
wget http://www.jpackage.org/
cat jpackage17.repo | sed 's/1\.7/5.0/'
| sed 's/\[jpack/\[5jpack/'
>
/etc/yum.repos.d/jpackage5.
mv jpackage17.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
yum makecache
# now you should be able to install tomcat6 easily:
yum install -y tomcat6
# start tomcat and configure it to automatically start on boot:
service tomcat6 start
chkconfig tomcat6 on
# for compiling your own packages, you will need some development tools
yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ compat-gcc-32 compat-gcc-32-c++
# some more requirements for packages that we will soon install:
yum -y install -y zlib zlib-devel freetype freetype-devel libjpeg libjpeg-devel
# install openoffice
yum -y groupinstall 'Office/Productivity'
yum -y install openoffice.org-headless
# download openoffice server initializing script
cd /etc/init.d
wget http://bigbluebutton.org/
# start the openoffice server
chmod +x /etc/init.d/bbb-openoffice-
chkconfig --add bbb-openoffice-headless
chkconfig bbb-openoffice-headless on
service bbb-openoffice-headless start
# install swftools:
wget http://www.swftools.org/
tar xzf swftools-0.8.1.tar.gz
cd swftools-0.8.1
./configure
make
make install
cd ..
# install ImageMagick:
yum install -y ImageMagick
# nginx also needs an alternative repo - using EPEL
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.
yum makecache
# now install nginx:
yum install -y nginx
# install activemq from source:
useradd activemq
wget http://apache.mirror.rafal.ca/
tar xzf apache-activemq-5.2.0-bin.tar.
mv apache-activemq-5.2.0
/opt/
ln -s /opt/apache-activemq-5.2.0
/opt/activemq
chown -R activemq.activemq /opt/apache-activemq-5.2.0
chown -R activemq.activemq /opt/activemq
# Now get the init.d file that we created for you
wget http://bigbluebutton.
mv activemq /etc/init.d/
# now make that file executable, start the service and configure it to auto-start
chmod a+x /etc/init.d/activemq
service activemq start
chkconfig activemq on
# now we will install Red5 from source
useradd red5
wget http://bigbluebutton.org/
tar xvf red5-0.8.tar.gz
mv red5-0.8
/opt/red5-0.8
chown -R red5.red5 /opt/red5-0.8
# Now get the init.d file that we created for you
wget http://bigbluebutton.
mv red5 /etc/init.d/
# now chmod the file, start and config auto-start:
chmod a+x /etc/init.d/red5
service red5 start
chkconfig red5 on
- Now you need to install the oflaDemo that comes with Red5. This is a manual process.
Click on "Click here to install demos" and then choose oflaDemo java 6.
Go to: http://< YOURIP-OR-DOMAIN >:5080/demos/
Click "View demo" under "OFLA DEMO", which should take you to: http://< YOURIP-OR-DOMAIN >:5080/demos/ofla_demo.html
Inthe upper right corner, change localhost to your domain or IP, like:rtmp://< YOURIP-OR-DOMAIN >/oflaDemo Click connect
You would see a list of available videos. Select one to play.
Now prepare for Asterisk build:

For security, you need to generate a GUID. You can use an online GUID generator, such as this one. Keep this GUID handy as we will need it shortly.
Determine PDF2SWF, CONVERT and GS applications (manual step)
# Make a note of where pdf2swf is installed
which pdf2swf
# You should see something like

# Make a note of where the convert application is installed
which convert
