| 12 | Short description: |
|---|
| 13 | ------------------ |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | To install Freevo, run 'python setup.py install' as root. If you |
|---|
| 16 | don't want to install Freevo, you can also start Freevo directly in |
|---|
| 17 | the unpacked tarball. |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | You need to have all dependencies installed. |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | Dependencies: |
|---|
| 25 | ------------- |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | Freevo has many dependencies. Based on your distribution, it's more or |
|---|
| 28 | less easy to install everything. |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | o Redhat 9 (and maybe other RPM based distributions) |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | There is a list of needed RPMs to install Freevo in |
|---|
| 34 | contrib/rpm/freevo-deps.txt. |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | o Gentoo: |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | You need to update your portage tree with some missing packages. Get |
|---|
| 41 | rsync-freevo at http://freevo.sourceforge.net/gentoo/rsync-freevo |
|---|
| 42 | and start it. You should get a Freevo ebuild. Now you can run |
|---|
| 43 | 'emerge freevo' to install Freevo. |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | o Debian: |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | A Debian apt source is available and includes all the dependencies |
|---|
| 50 | you'll need. |
|---|
| 51 | You should add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: |
|---|
| 52 | |
|---|
| 53 | deb http://freevo.sourceforge.net/debian unstable main |
|---|
| 54 | deb http://marillat.free.fr/ unstable main |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | (The second source provides mplayer and other multimedia packages) |
|---|
| 57 | |
|---|
| 58 | Then, simply run apt-get update && apt-get install Freevo to fetch |
|---|
| 59 | all the dependencies you'll need to run Freevo. |
|---|
| 60 | |
|---|
| 61 | |
|---|
| 62 | |
