##Installing Satyr A generic guide for install satyr. Example commands are provided for distributions based on debian and arhc.

###Preparing the system It is reccomended to create a system user to run satyr.

adduser satyr -D /var/lib/satyr -m -r -U

Install ffmpeg and mysql with your package manager.

sudo apt install ffmpeg mysql
pacman -S ffmpeg mysql

###Installing NodeJS

####Installing on distributions with a compatible version of node If your distribution ships with a compatible version of node(stable, >=10), you can install it with your distribution's package manager.

sudo apt install nodejs

You can verify the version with

node --verion

####Installing on distributions with an incompatible version of node If the version provided by your disribution is not a new enough version, is a nightly build (such as Arch), you will need to get a compatible version from nodejs.org and add the binaries to your path.

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/path/to/download.tar.xz
tar -xf node-v10.something.tar.xz

Add the /bin folder to your path (and the path of the satyr user), or symlink the binaries.

sudo ln -sf node-v10.something/bin/node /usr/bin
sudo ln -sf node-v10.something/bin/npm /usr/bin
sudo ln -sf node-v10.something/bin/npx /usr/bin

Alternatively, use a tool like nvm to manage your current node version.

###Install Satyr Clone the satyr repo to a folder such as /opt/satyr or /var/lib/satyr and make satyr the owner of the folder.

sudo mkdir -p /opt/satyr
sudo chown -R satyr:satyr /opt/satyr
sudo -Hu satyr git clone https://gitlab.com/knotteye/satyr.git /opt/satyr

Change to the satyr directory and install dependecies. It will ask you a few questions to generate an initial config.

cd /opt/satyr
npm install

Build and start the server.

npm run build
npm start
