# installJRMC This script will help install [JRiver Media Center](https://www.jriver.com/) and associated services on Fedora (>=29), CentOS (>=8), Ubuntu (>=16.04), and Debian (>=9). ## Notes 1. This script will not point major upgrades (i.e. from v25 to v26) to your old library. You should **first perform a library backup**, install the new major version, and then restore the library backup in the new version. 2. It is recommended to run `installJRMC` as your normal system user (i.e. don't run it with `sudo`). Services are installed for the user that executes the script so do not execute as root unless you want to install system-wide services like `createrepo` (see services section below for more information). ## Installing 1. Extract: ``` unzip ./installJRMC.zip ``` 2. You may need to make the script executable: ``` chmod +x ./installJRMC ``` 3. Run the script using default options (see Options section below): ``` ./installJRMC ``` You will be prompted to enter your sudo password to install dependencies, etc. ## Options Running `installJRMC` without any options will install the latest version of JRiver Media Center from the official JRiver repository (Ubuntu/Debian) or my unofficial repository (Fedora/CentOS) using the system package manager. Here is a list of additional options that can be passed to the script. You can always find the latest supported options by running `installJRMC --help`. ```text --install-repo Install JRiver Media Center from repository using package manager (Default) DEB-based OSes: Official package repository RPM-based OSes: BryanC unofficial repository --install-rpmbuild (RPM-based OSes only!) Build RPM from source DEB and install it --rpmbuild Build RPM from source DEB --outputdir PATH Generate rpmbuild output in this directory (Default: $PWD/outputdir) --mcversion VERSION Build or install a specific version (Default: scrape the latest version from Interact) --restorefile RESTOREFILE Restore file location for registration (Default: skip registration) --betapass PASSWORD Enter beta team password for access to beta builds --service, -s SERVICE See SERVICES section below for a list of possible services to install --container, -c CONTAINER See CONTAINERS section below for a list of possible services to install --createrepo Build rpm, copy to webroot, and run createrepo --createrepo-webroot PATH The webroot directory to install the repo (Default: /srv/jriver/) --createrepo-user USER The web server user (Default: current user) --version, -v Print this script version and exit --debug, -d Print debug output --force, -f Force reinstallation and ignore/overwrite previous output --help, -h Print help dialog and exit --uninstall, -u Uninstall JRiver MC, cleanup service files, and remove firewall rules (does not remove library files) ``` **Some options are incompatible** with each other, for example it is not possible to install the `mediaserver` service on Ubuntu/Debian when using `--rpmbuild` or `--createrepo` since those options do not actually install Media Center. `installJRMC` does perform sanity checks to automatically fix conflicting options, but it may not catch all edge cases. #### services When installing systemd services it is important to execute `installJRMC` as the user you wish to run the services. Typically this is your normal user account but for some server installations it may be necessary to execute the script as root. ```text mediaserver Enable and start a mediaserver systemd service (requires an existing X server) mediacenter Enable and start a mediacenter systemd service (requires an existing X server) x11vnc Enable and start x11vnc for the local desktop (requires an existing X server) --vncpass and --display are valid options (see below) mediacenter-vncserver Enable and start a vncserver --vncpass PASSWORD Set vnc password for x11vnc access. If no password is set, the script will either use existing password stored in ~/.vnc/jrmc_passwd or use no password --display DISPLAY Display to start vncserver/x11vnc (Default: The current display or :0 if current display is unaccessible) createrepo Install hourly service to build latest MC RPM and run createrepo ``` I utilize `--service createrepo` to build the rpm repository used by Fedora/CentOS. #### containers **Coming soon!** ### Examples * `installJRMC` Installs the latest version of JRiver Media Center from the repository. * `installJRMC --service mediaserver` Installs JRiver Media Center from the repository and starts/enables the mediaserver service. * `installJRMC --install-rpmbuild --restorefile /path/to/license.mjr --mcversion 26.0.56` Builds JRiver Media Center version 26.0.56 RPM from the source DEB, installs it, and activates it using the specified .mjr license file (Fedora/CentOS only). * `installJRMC --createrepo --createrepo-webroot /srv/jriver/repo --createrepo-user www-user` Builds the RPM, moves it to the webroot, and runs createrepo as `www-user`. * `installJRMC --service createrepo --createrepo-webroot /srv/jriver/repo --createrepo-user www-user` Installs the jriver-createrepo timer and service to build the RPM, move it to the webroot, and run createrepo as `www-user`. * `installJRMC --service x11vnc --service mediacenter --vncpass "letmein"` Installs services to share the existing local desktop via VNC and automatically run Media Center * `installJRMC --service mediacenter-vncserver --vncpass "letmein"` Installs a service that starts a vncserver containing Media Center * `installJRMC --uninstall` Uninstalls JRiver Media Center and its associated services and firewall rules. This will **not** remove your media library and database in case you want to reinstall.
