Revision as of 01:47, 26 January 2016

Hardware Requirements

As of version: Kajam-11.7.0:

• 2Ghz Processor (Dual-Core)
• 1GB of RAM
• 5GB HDD for Kaltura installation (not counting space for videos)
• 64bit Ubuntu or CentOS/Redhat

Start

Before you start, switch to root. Kaltura expects that all installation instructions are performed as root.

~/home/user$sudo -s

Flush IPtables

If possible, flush iptables and stop the service.

~/home/user$ iptables -F
~/home/user$ service iptables stop   (did not work for me)
~/home/user$ chkconfig iptables off    (did not work for me)

Disable SELinux

Another required step, SELinux MUST be disabled.
