Installation on web
  • Dear Sir,

    I am a journalist and working on webmedia. http://jnilive.com is my site. I want to start a web radio. How can I install the airtime software on my site (with subdomain i.e. radio.jnilive.com)

    I more thing, I am not a perfect developer. So I want to know an easy process to install airtime without coding for example as wordpress is easy to install and start.

    I have a hosting on Linux server.

  • What version of Linux are you running (Ubuntu, Debian etc.)?
    Airtime Pro Hosting: http://airtime.pro
  • If you go to the sourcefabric website and "manual download" the tar file
    for linux and then go to the http://en.flossmanuals.net/
    and locate the link for the airtime manual, then follow the steps
    exactly as they are shown. I used ubuntu 11.04 with current updates
    as well as the extra items listed to be installed before installing the
    airtime package. The description tells you when to install liquidsoap
    and icecast2 to be able to stream live as well as the other prerequisite
    software and lib packages.

    Just follow each step and it will give you a good install, up and
    running in less than 30 minutes; this is awsome !

    There is also another open source package called Rivendell Audio
    Automation that can be downloaded and installed; the help is mostly
    a basic wiki as well as user mailing list, but it is a nice package as
    well. Just a bit more difficult to install and get up and running,
    although they doo have some Live Install disk iso's available from
    different users' blog sites etc. It works well and is used by many
    commercial stations, but it is a bit tougher to understand for a novice.
    It might be adviseable to try airtime and get the idea of the flow and
    then change
    to RD if you feel the need.

    cheers hope this helps.

    You can do also automatic installation which requires less manual steps and will get you up and running in half the time.

    Please start with this page preparing the server and follow with automatic installation

    Please make sure your server meets the requirements to install airtime. (specified in the first link I've posted)
