=Installing Basic BigBlueButton server=
==Update your server==
<source lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install bbb-demo
</source>
You'll need the bbb-demo package installed if you want to join the Demo Meeting from your BigBlueButton server's welcome page. This is the same welcome page you see at our demo server.
<source lang="bash">
sudo apt-get purge bbb-demo
</source>
==Install Presentation record and playback scripts==
<source lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install bbb-playback-presentation
</source>
==Assign the proper domain name==
<source lang="bash">
sudo bbb-conf --setip <FQDN>
</source>
</source>
The --clean option will clear out all the log files for BigBlueButton. The --check option will grep through the log files looking for errors. The output from sudo bbb-conf --check will display your current settings and, after the text, " Potential problems described below ", print any potential configuration or startup problems it has detected. =Installing the Polling Module===Setting up the development tools== On a BigBlueButton server, you can install all the necessary development tools with the following command: <source lang="bash">bbb-conf --setup-dev tools</source>When you run this script, you will be asked to enter your password to sudo into root. This script will: Download and setup groovy, grails, and gradleDownload and install Open Source Flex SDKInstall OpenJDKInstall Presentation record gitAdd the necessary environment variables in your ~/.profile After the initial setup is complete, you'll need to reload your .profile to use the new environment variables for groovy, grails, and gradle. To do this, run <source lang="bash">source ~/.profile</source> You need only do this once. When you next login to your account, you'll have the environment variables in place. Again, you can use any account on a BigBlueButton server that has sudo rights. For the rest of this document we'll use the account firstuser for the examples. The bbb-conf script create for you a dev directory in your account. <source lang="bash">/home/firstuser/dev</source> It's in this directory that you'll place the source for BigBlueButton. ==Checking out the Source==You have to clone our git BigBlueButton fork in order to get the Polling Module.<source lang="bash">cd ~/devgit clone https://github.com/capilkey/bigbluebutton.gitgit checkout poll-access</source> ==Building the Client=====Setting up the environment===To setup the client for development for the client, do the following <source lang="bash">bbb-conf --setup-dev client</source> You then need to open up the ~/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-client/src/conf/config.xml file and add in the entry for the Polling Module. Make sure to replace the "<URL>" with the domain name of the server. <source lang="mxml"><module name="PollingModule" url="http://<URL>/client/PollingModule.swf?v=4067" uri="rtmp://<URL>/bigbluebutton" dependsOn="ViewersModule"/></source> ===Build the source=== First, we'll build the locales (language translation files). If your not modifying the locales, you need only do this once. <source lang="bash">cd ~/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-clientant locales</source> This will take about 10 minutes (depending on the speed of your system). Next, let's build the client <source lang="bash">ant</source> ==Building the Red5 Apps==Make red5/webapps writeable. Otherwise, you will get permission error when you try to deploy into Red5. <source lang="bash">sudo chmod -R o+w /usr/share/red5/webapps</source>Run the setup script. This will remove the bbb-apps package from red5/webapps. <source lang="bash">bbb-conf --setup-dev apps</source>Stop red5 <source lang="bash">sudo /etc/init.d/red5 stop</source>Compile and playback scriptsdeploy bbb-apps <source lang="bash">cd ~/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-appsgradle resolveDepsgradle clean war deploy</source> Start Red5 <source lang="bash">sudo /etc/init.d/red5 start</source>
==Do a Clean Restart==
To ensure BigBlueButton has started cleanly, enter the following commands:
<source lang="bash">
sudo bbb-conf --clean
sudo bbb-conf --check
</source>
The --clean option will clear out all the log files for BigBlueButton. The --check option will grep through the log files looking for errors.
The output from sudo bbb-conf --check will display your current settings and, after the text, " Potential problems described below ", print any potential configuration or startup problems it has detected.
=Moving /var/bigbluebutton=
You should wait till after everything is setup before moving folders around. Once it's all setup move /var/bigbluebutton to /storage/bigbluebutton (on the second hard drive) and make a link between the two.
