# Installing on Linux
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
GStreamer is included in all Linux distributions. We recommend using the latest version of a fast moving distribution such as Fedora, Ubuntu (non-LTS), Debian sid or OpenSuse to get a recent GStreamer release.
|
|
|
|
All the commands given in this section are intended to be typed in from
|
|
a terminal.
|
|
|
|
> 
|
|
Make sure you have superuser (root) access rights to install GStreamer.
|
|
|
|
## Install GStreamer on Fedora
|
|
|
|
Run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dnf install gstreamer1-devel gstreamer1-plugins-base-tools gstreamer1-doc gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-plugins-good-extras gstreamer1-plugins-ugly gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-devel gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install GStreamer on Ubuntu or Debian
|
|
|
|
Run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-x gstreamer1.0-alsa gstreamer1.0-gl gstreamer1.0-gtk3 gstreamer1.0-qt5 gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building applications using GStreamer
|
|
|
|
The only other “development environment” that is required is
|
|
the `gcc` compiler and a text editor. In order to compile code that
|
|
requires GStreamer and uses the GStreamer core library, remember
|
|
to add this string to your `gcc` command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-1.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you're using other GStreamer libraries, e.g. the video library, you
|
|
have to add additional packages after gstreamer-1.0 in the above string
|
|
(gstreamer-video-1.0 for the video library, for example).
|
|
|
|
If your application is built with the help of libtool, e.g. when using
|
|
automake/autoconf as a build system, you have to run
|
|
the `configure` script from inside the `gst-sdk-shell` environment.
|
|
|
|
#### Getting the tutorial's source code
|
|
|
|
The source code for the tutorials can be copied and pasted from the
|
|
tutorial pages into a text file, but, for convenience, it is also available
|
|
in a GIT repository in the `subprojects/gst-docs/examples/tutorials` subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
The GIT repository can be cloned with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Building the tutorials
|
|
|
|
Change directory to find basic-tutorials-1:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd gstreamer/subprojects/gst-docs/examples/tutorials/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And then compile it with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
gcc basic-tutorial-1.c -o basic-tutorial-1 `pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-1.0`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Using the file name of the tutorial you are interested in
|
|
(`basic-tutorial-1` in this example).
|
|
|
|
>  Depending on the GStreamer libraries you need to use, you will have to add more packages to the `pkg-config` command, besides `gstreamer-1.0`
|
|
> At the bottom of each tutorial's source code you will find the command for that specific tutorial, including the required libraries, in the required order.
|
|
> When developing your own applications, the GStreamer documentation will tell you what library a function belongs to.
|
|
|
|
#### Running the tutorials
|
|
|
|
To run the tutorials, simply execute the desired tutorial:
|
|
|
|
``` c
|
|
./basic-tutorial-1
|
|
```
