'''NOTICE''': This article is out of date. Consider using a more current version of [https://debian.org Debian] Linux and use the [[Debian10]] article for current (as of Mid 2020) instructions.
<hr />

This page will shortly list all the commands you need in order to install Rivendell, with its source code being available at [http://rivendellaudio.org/rivendell/download.shtml this page]. It was tested with Debian 8.11 fresh install and rivendell-2.19.3.

Lines beginning with # are root instructions (and may be executed with sudo), the ones beginning with $ are user instructions, the ones beginning with > are just waiting for some more instructions, the ones beginning with : are vi instructions. vi is my common editor, use your preferred one. bob will be the user, replace with your own user login.

Jackd install and [http://wiki.rivendellaudio.org/index.php/Configuring_Jack_for_use_in_Rivendell configuration] is not treated in this page.

=== First steps ===
Download and install Debian 8.11 . I've used [https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/8.11.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-8.11.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso xfce cd iso] and installed the minimal + xfce graphical environment.

After the install, remove the line concerning the "CD" repository and update.
# vi /etc/apt/sources.list
# apt update
# apt upgrade

=== Web and Database Servers install ===
# apt install apache2
# apt install mysql-server
Please remember the db password you choose for root when installing MySQL !

=== Compilation tools and other preparations ===
Compilation tools
# apt install make gcc g++
My user must be able to write in /usr/local (for Qt3 compilation)
# ls -ld /usr/local
It is owned by 'staff' group, so :
# adduser bob staff
I already care of rivendell user
# adduser --system --group --home=/var/snd rivendell
# chmod g+w /var/snd
# adduser bob rivendell <strike>
# chmod ug+s /var/snd</strike> (not sure the last instruction is really required..)
Configure Qt3 environment variables
$ echo '# Qt3 env variables
> QTDIR=/usr/local/qt3
> PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
> MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
> export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH
> ' >> ~/.bash_aliases
Reboot
# reboot
or just log out and in..

=== Qt3 install ===
$ wget https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/3/qt-x11-free-3.3.8b.tar.gz
$ cd /usr/local
$ tar xf ~/qt-x11-free-3.3.8b.tar.gz
$ ln -s qt-x11-free-3.3.8b/ qt3
$ cd qt3
# apt install libx11-dev libxext-dev libxt-dev libmysqlclient-dev
$ ./configure
At this point a few code lines have to be hacked.
$ vi include/qmap.h
add just below line 55 : #include <stddef.h>
$ vi include/qvaluelist.h
add just below line 53 : #include <stddef.h>
$ vi src/sql/drivers/mysql/qsql_mysql.h
modify line 53 : #include <mysql/mysql.h>
$ make
==== Building the QT MySQL driver ====
$ cd ./plugins/src/sqldrivers/mysql
$ make
$ cd ../../../../

==== finish qt3 install ====
# make install

=== Rivendell install ===
==== compile ====
$ cd
$ wget http://rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs/rivendell/rivendell-2.19.3.tar.gz
or maybe a more recent version..
$ tar xf rivendell-2.19.3.tar.gz
$ cd rivendell-2.19.3/
# apt install libssh-dev libsamplerate0-dev libsndfile1-dev \
> libcdparanoia-dev libid3-3.8.3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev \
> libpam0g-dev libsoundtouch-dev libasound2-dev libflac++-dev \
> libmp4v2-dev libmad0-dev libtwolame-dev libmp3lame-dev libfaad-dev
$ ./configure --libexecdir=/var/www/rd-bin --sysconfdir=/etc/apache2/conf-available
$ make

==== install and configure ====
# cd /home/bob/rivendell-2.19.3/
# make install
# cp conf/rd.conf-sample /etc/rd.conf
# vi /etc/rd.conf
# a2enconf rd-bin && a2enmod cgid && service apache2 restart
# vi /etc/init.d/rivendell
:%s/alsasound/alsa-utils/g
:%s/mariadb/mysql/g
:wq
# update-rc.d rivendell defaults
# update-rc.d rdrepld defaults
Now you can launch rdadmin to create Rivendell database.
$ rdadmin
You're first asked for the db admin authentication : root is the Debian MySQL user and the password is the one you choose when installing the server. Rivendell DB and its tables are created, and a sound test file is created in /var/snd.

You also need to add yous sound card(s)
# rdalsaconfig
