Follow the below steps to add BigBlueButton Repositories to the server.<\/p>\n\n\n
1. 2 GB of memory (4 GB is better)<\/p>\n
2. Dual-core 2.6 GHz CPU (quad-core is better)<\/p>\n
3. Ports 80, 1935, 9123 accessible<\/p>\n
4. Port 80 is not used by another application<\/p>\n
5. 50G of free disk space (or more) for recordings<\/p>\n
To verify you have Ubuntu 10.04<\/p>\n
$ cat \/etc\/lsb-release\n<\/pre>\nIf it returns something like this, you have Ubuntu 10.04<\/p>\n
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu\nDISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04\nDISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid\nDISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=\"Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS\"\n<\/pre>\nThe locale must be set to en_US.UTF-8. To verify it:<\/p>\n
$ cat \/etc\/default\/locale\nLANG=\"en_US.UTF-8\"\n<\/pre>\nIf you don’t see LANG=”en_US.UTF-8″, then do the following,<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt-get update\n$ sudo apt-get install language-pack-en\n$ sudo update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8\n<\/pre>\nLog out<\/b> and log back into your session or restart<\/b> your server. After the above step, do cat \/etc\/default\/locale again and verify you see LANG=”en_US.UTF-8″.<\/p>\n
Verify that port 80 is not in use by any other application.<\/p>\n
$ lsof -i\u00a0:80\n<\/pre>\nAdding Repositories BigBlueButton and updating the server:<\/span><\/h2>\n
Add the BigBlueButton key<\/p>\n
$ wget http:\/\/ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org\/bigbluebutton.asc<\/a> -O- | sudo apt-key add -\n<\/pre>\nAdd the BigBlueButton repository URL and ensure the multiverse is enabled<\/p>\n
$ echo \"deb http:\/\/ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org\/lucid_dev_08\/<\/a> bigbluebutton-lucid main\" | sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/bigbluebutton.list\n$ echo \"deb http:\/\/us.archive.ubuntu.com\/ubuntu\/<\/a> lucid multiverse\" | sudo tee -a \/etc\/apt\/sources.list\n<\/pre>\nTo update your server and to ensure you are running the latest version of the packages do the following<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt-get update\n$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade\n<\/pre>\nInstall RUBY<\/span><\/h2>\n
You must have ruby for recording and playback. To check if Ruby is already installed,<\/p>\n
$ dpkg -l | grep ruby\n<\/pre>\nMake sure the version is 1.9.2p290.<\/p>\n
$ ruby -v\nruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553)\n<\/pre>\nIn case you do not have Ruby install the following dependencies.<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline5-dev libyaml-dev build-essential bison checkinstall libffi5 gcc checkinstall libreadline5 libyaml-0-2\n<\/pre>\nCreate a script to install Ruby.<\/p>\n
