sudo apt update
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends build-essential ca-certificates nasm autoconf zlib1g-dev tcl cmake curl libssl-dev libsrtp2-dev libopus-dev libjemalloc-dev pkg-config libvpx-dev libswscale-dev libswresample-dev libavfilter-dev libavcodec-dev libx264-dev libfdk-aac-dev

Then compile libsrt,

curl -LOJ https://github.com/Haivision/srt/archive/v1.3.3.tar.gz
tar xvf srt-1.3.3.tar.gz
cd srt-1.3.3
./configure --prefix="/opt/ovenmediaengine" --enable-shared --enable-static=0
make -j 2
sudo make install
cd ..

Then compile OvenMediaEngine FFMpeg,

curl -LOJ https://github.com/AirenSoft/FFmpeg/archive/ome/3.4.tar.gz
tar xvf FFmpeg-ome-3.4.tar.gz
cd FFmpeg-ome-3.4
./configure --prefix="/opt/ovenmediaengine" --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --extra-cflags="-I/opt/ovenmediaengine/include" --extra-ldflags="-L$/opt/ovenmediaengine/lib -Wl,-rpath,/opt/ovenmediaengine/lib" --extra-libs=-ldl --enable-shared --disable-static --disable-debug --disable-doc --disable-programs --disable-avdevice --disable-dct --disable-dwt --disable-error-resilience --disable-lsp --disable-lzo --disable-rdft --disable-faan --disable-pixelutils --disable-everything --enable-zlib --enable-libopus --enable-libvpx --enable-libfdk_aac --enable-libx264 --enable-encoder=libvpx_vp8,libvpx_vp9,libopus,libfdk_aac,libx264 --enable-decoder=aac,aac_latm,aac_fixed,h264 --enable-parser=aac,aac_latm,aac_fixed,h264 --enable-network --enable-protocol=tcp --enable-protocol=udp --enable-protocol=rtp --enable-demuxer=rtsp --enable-filter=asetnsamples,aresample,aformat,channelmap,channelsplit,scale,transpose,fps,settb,asettb
make
sudo make install
cd ..

Finally compile OvenMediaEngine,

curl -LOJ https://github.com/AirenSoft/OvenMediaEngine/archive/v0.10.7.tar.gz
tar xvf OvenMediaEngine-0.10.7.tar.gz
cd OvenMediaEngine-0.10.7/src
make release
sudo make install

Copy Server.xml to /usr/share/ovenmediaengine/conf/Server.xml.
