Welcome to the RED5 build, to build and run the RED5 server you need the following software:
<ol>
<li>Apache ANT version 1.7.0 or newer (<a href="http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi" target="_blank">download here</a>)</li>
<li>Java JDK 1.5 or newer (<a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp" target="_blank">download here</a>). You don't need netbeans unless you need an IDE for Java.</li>
<li>The RED5 distribution (<a href="http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/red5/java/server/trunk" target="_blank">download here</a>)</li>
<li>Ant must be on your system path (test by typing ant -version at a system prompt)</li>
<li>You must have the environment variables for JAVA_HOME and JAVA_VERSION defined, typically:
<pre>
JAVA_HOME=C:\development\j2sdk1.5.0_07
JAVA_VERSION=1.5
</pre>
You can check this on windows by typing <pre>set JAVA_HOME</pre> or on unix by typing <pre>echo $JAVA_HOME</pre>
<br><strong>FAILURE TO SETUP YOUR ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES WILL PREVENT YOUR FROM BEING ABLE TO BUILD PROPERLY</strong><br><br>
</li>
<li>Now to just build the red5 server and start it running type <strong>ant server</strong> - This will compile the code and start the red5 server listening on port 1935.</li>
<li>To test the server use either the samples in the "swf" directory or write your own fla to call red5 using rtmp://localhost:1935/oflaDemo as the URI.</li>
<li>To change the default port Red5 listens on edit the conf/red5.properties and change the property rtmp.host_port value to your desired host and port i.e. :
<pre>rtmp.host_port = 0.0.0.0:2935</pre>
and then restart the server by typing <pre>ant server<pre></li>
<li>Please direct any questions to the red5 mailing list : red5@osflash.org</li>
