Downloading Deb Package

The downloaded file can be installed with the following command.

The two apt commands below does not need to be run if the current Raspberry PI OS is up to date.

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

sudo dpkg -i rws_xxx_armhf.deb

To remove rws package, please use following command

sudo dpkg -r rws

Since the current log directory is located in the installation directory, you can delete the '/opt/rws' directory manally after dpkg remove.

Installation Directory

When the installation is complete, the following files and directories are created under /opt/rws.

File/Directory	Description
LICENSE	There are LICENSE files for the S/W package and libraries used by RWS.
webrtc-streamer	RWS man binary executable
etc	configuration files
web-root	Where test html files and js files are located.
log	Directory where log messages are stored. Files from rws_log_0 to rws_log_9 are created. If webrtc-streamer is not restarted, the files will not moved between shift folders. When the process is restarted, the log files in the '/opt/rws/log' directory are moved to 00. And files in 00 move to 01, 01 move to 02 ... the log files in the last 09 directory are deleted.
