We’ll want to make sure that your server is set up to build code as well as some other dependencies.įor my version of Ubuntu I installed the following: $ sudo apt install -y git handbrake-cli build-essential libargtable2-dev libavformat-ffmpeg-dev libsdl1.2-dev autoconf automake libass-dev libfreetype6-dev libsdl2-dev libtheora-dev libtool libva-dev libvdpau-dev libvorbis-dev libxcb1-dev libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev pkg-config texinfo zlib1g-dev enough hard drive space to do all this - 20GB should work for a work space.git - we’ll be getting a few libraries from github repos.A linux server which will do the compression for you - I’m running Ubuntu.Compress the show a bit with x264 using Handbrake.įirst we’ll need to cover exactly what we’re going to need:.
