[edit] 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 CentOS

[edit] Start

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

~/home/user$sudo -s

[edit] Setup Sudo group

I personally like the way Ubuntu manages sudo rights through a group. Follow the below to replicate that.

root@kaltura-server~$ sudo visudo
[add the lines below:]
## Allows members of the 'sudo' group to run any commands anywhere
%sudo ALL=(ALL)         ALL
root@kaltura-server~$ sudo groupadd sudo
root@kaltura-server~$ getent group sudo
sudo:x:1002:
root@kaltura-server~$ sudo usermod -a -G sudo helpdesk
root@kaltura-server~$ getent group sudo
sudo:x:1002:helpdesk

[edit] Update CentOS

helpdesk@kaltura-server~$ sudo yum update -y

[edit] Install DNS utilities

helpdesk@kaltura-server~$ sudo yum install -y bind-utils

[edit] Disable SELinux (required)

helpdesk@kaltura-server~$ sudo setenforce permissive
helpdesk@kaltura-server~$ sudo vi /etc/selinux/config
[change value]
SELINUX=enforcing > SELINUX=permissive

[edit] Setup Kaltura RPM repo

root@kaltura-server~$ rpm -ihv http://installrepo.kaltura.org/releases/kaltura-release.noarch.rpm
root@kaltura-server~$ rpm -ihv https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

edit: /etc/yum.repos.d/kaltura.repo
root@kaltura-server~$ vi /etc/yum.repos.d/kaltura.repo
under [Kaltura]
change: baseurl = http://installrepo.kaltura.org/releases/latest/RPMS/$basearch/
to: baseurl = http://installrepo.kaltura.org/releases/rhel7/RPMS/$basearch/

root@kaltura-server~$ yum update -y
root@kaltura-server~$ yum cleann all

[edit] Setup MariaDB

root@kaltura-server~$ yum install -y mariadb-server
root@kaltura-server~$ service mariadb start
root@kaltura-server~$ mysql_secure_installation

Below is a sample question answer format, replace the input marked by <> with your own details:

Enter current password for root (enter for none): <ENTER>
Set root password? [Y/n]: <y>
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y

root@kaltura-server~$ chkconfig mariadb on

[edit] Postfix

A local instance is needed to be able to send mail, generally the default install should be sufficient.
restart the Postfix service to make sure it can run.

root@kaltura-server~$ service postfix restart

[edit] Install Kaltura Server

root@kaltura-server~$ yum update -y
root@kaltura-server~$ yum clean all
root@kaltura-server~$ yum update -y "*kaltura*"
root@kaltura-server~$ yum install -y kaltura-server

[edit] Configure DB with required Kaltura Settings

root@kaltura-server~$ /opt/kaltura/bin/kaltura-mysql-settings.sh
