Airtime 2.5 for Broadcasters

Easy setup

The airtime-easy-setup package sets up a typical Airtime configuration without prompting you for any settings. You can then install the latest Airtime package from the Sourcefabric repository with a few clicks.

After that, the Airtime administration interface can be accessed at the default domain name of the computer (such as http://airtime.example.com). If you have not yet set a fully qualified domain name for the computer, you can use a URL such as http://ubuntu/ on the localhost for testing purposes. Whichever domain name you use, the Icecast administration interface will be at port 8000 of the same URL (such as http://airtime.example.com:8000).

You can download the airtime-easy-setup package from http://apt.sourcefabric.org/misc/airtime-easy-setup.deb which is a link to the latest version of the package. You should stay connected to the Internet throughout the installation, as a number of dependency packages have to be installed from online repositories.

On Ubuntu 10.04 'lucid', Debian 6.0 'squeeze' or Debian 7.2 'wheezy', you can run the airtime-easy-setup package from your browser using the program GDebi.

 

If you have chosen to save the package to your computer instead, in the desktop file manager, right-click on the airtime-easy-setup package and select Open with GDebi Package Installer:

 

Or for an Ubuntu Lucid or Debian server without a desktop, you can use gdebi on the command line:

sudo apt-get update
sudo gdebi airtime-easy-setup.deb

If gdebi is not installed, you can run this command first:

sudo apt-get install gdebi

Later versions of Ubuntu have replaced GDebi with the program software-center. On a desktop installation, right-click on the package and select Open with Ubuntu Software Centre. This desktop program can also be run from the command line, for example: 

software-center airtime-easy-setup.deb

Any of the methods above should resolve package dependencies automatically.

Install Airtime

Once the installation of airtime-easy-setup has completed, you can install the latest Airtime package on a desktop system using your usual package manager, such as Ubuntu Software Centre, or Synaptic on Debian.

 

On a server, you can use the command:

sudo airtime-easy-setup

Configure for production

To convert a test installation into a production installation, you can run the command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure airtime

The dkpg-reconfigure command will run through the configuration steps shown in the Automated installation chapter, so that you can set the correct hostnames and passwords for your production Airtime server.

There has been error in communication with Booktype server. Not sure right now where is the problem.
