Installation¶
System requirements¶
Perfect Streamer runs on OS Linux. The main requirement is GLIBC version >= 2.17.
The system must be compatible with the Gemalto Sentinel protection system.
Network interfaces for streamer must be configured statically.
Installation packages and repositories are available for the Red Hat and Debian families. RHEL version 7 and higher (Centos etc) is supported. Debian based systems (Ubuntu etc) must have systemd service.
Hardware requirements: one 2.4 GHz core and 1 GB of RAM for every 200 Mb of traffic. The estimate is approximate and depends on the used protocols and service configuration.
There is two packets in repository: pstreamer and pstreamer-demo. They are not compatible whith each other. Only one of them can be installed. The configuration file from pstreamer may be incompatible with pstreamer-demo. The service may not start and you may need to manually delete the pass.json file.
