Error: Could not find or load main class org.red5.server.Bootstrap

[ishandutta2007]

The instructions here tells, just download and run ./red5.sh but I guess something more is required.

Yeah you are right. I have updated the document. Please let me know if you still have problem.

In addition, I can give instant support via slack or whatsapp if you wish.

I downloded the zip from the site than this github repo and got the server started. By the way which documentaion you are talking about, I don't see anywhere any mention the difference between zip on your site and this repo? I guess building this repo you need to copy the latest jar to the extracted zip download from your site for any code update. Isn't it ? Can you get these steps mentioned properly somewhere. The video just shows to build and copy but doesnt give info where those zips are required and where those came from in first place. As far as this issue is considered you can close it once you point me to those documentations.

[mekya]

I mean the README document which now says start.sh by starting the server.

Ok. I am going to try to document this and let you know.

[mekya]

Build From Source instructions is added to Getting_Started.md

https://github.com/ant-media/Ant-Media-Server/blob/master/doc/Getting_Started.md

[mekya]

Closing this issue. Please reopen it if you have still a problem.

Running on  Darwin

I am having the same error also, can help?

Do I need to preinstall any software before I run this? Like red5

[mekya]

@devsideal , You should download from releases. If you want to build from source follow the Building From Source instructions

@aun408 , The simplest way to install Ant Media Server is running it as a Service. There is a one shot script you it install all required softwares and ant media server to your ubuntu box. Here is the link for that

[devendroid]

@mekya , Still same error i just download this version of release, extract zip and run the start.sh.

[mekya]

Could you try to install this way(running as a service)? It is likely some required softwares are not installed on your system.

[devendroid]

Yes now its seems to working using the way running as a service (on ubuntu), But now I'm facing this issue

[mekya]

Which version do you download, which OS and java environment?

Btw, could you use bash shell?

Hi @selina21 ,
