Installing

Head over to the docs page on Installing Gerbera.

Building

Gerbera uses CMake.

Quick start build instructions:

# Assuming Ubuntu base
git clone https://github.com/gerbera/gerbera.git
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../gerbera -DWITH_MAGIC=1 -DWITH_MYSQL=1 -DWITH_CURL=1 -DWITH_JS=1 \
-DWITH_TAGLIB=1 -DWITH_AVCODEC=1 -DWITH_FFMPEGTHUMBNAILER=1 -DWITH_EXIF=1 -DWITH_LASTFM=1
make -j4
sudo make install

Alternatively, the options can be set using a GUI (make sure to press "c" to configure after toggling settings in the GUI):

git clone https://github.com/gerbera/gerbera.git
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../gerbera
make edit_cache
# Enable some of the WITH... options
make -j4
sudo make install

Install prerequisites.

On Ubuntu 16.04

apt-get install uuid-dev libsqlite3-dev libmysqlclient-dev \
libmagic-dev libexif-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libspdlog-dev libpugixml-dev
# If building with LibAV/FFmpeg (-DWITH_AVCODEC=1)
apt-get install libavutil-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavdevice-dev \
libavfilter-dev libavresample-dev libswscale-dev libswresample-dev libpostproc-dev

The following packages are too old in 16.04 and must be installed from source: taglib (1.11.x), and libupnp (1.12.x).

libupnp must be configured/built with --enable-ipv6. See scripts/install-pupnp.sh for details.

On FreeBSD

The following has bee tested on FreeBSD 11.0 using a clean jail environment.

  1. Install the required prerequisites as root using either ports or packages. This can be done via Package manager or ports. (pkg manager is used here.) Include mysql if you wish to use that instead of SQLite3.
pkg install wget git autoconf automake libtool taglib cmake gcc libav ffmpeg libexif pkgconf liblastfm gmake
  1. Clone repository, build dependencies in current in ports and then build gerbera.
git clone https://github.com/gerbera/gerbera.git 
mkdir build
cd build
sh ../gerbera/scripts/install-pupnp18.sh
sh ../gerbera/scripts/install-duktape.sh
cmake ../gerbera -DWITH_MAGIC=1 -DWITH_MYSQL=0 -DWITH_CURL=1 -DWITH_JS=1 -DWITH_TAGLIB=1 -DWITH_AVCODEC=1 -DWITH_EXIF=1 -DWITH_LASTFM=0 -DWITH_SYSTEMD=0
make -j4
sudo make install
